She Was Mine

Terrence Howard


It was the saddest thing 
i remember 
Sometime in August 
in the course of the night 
She had blue eyes 
that raise december 
she was mine 

a fairytale 
just like 
an old time movie 
where colors gone 
a wishin well 
just like 
an old time groove 
from a honeycomb 
and as 
she smiled sideways 
before me 
somthing inside me 
said control myself 
she had a style 
that damed adored me 
she was mine 
she was mine 

baby don't worry 
i mean you no harm 
but i've been observing 
your grace 
and your charm 
I know it's eleven 
but please remain calm 
If your in a hurry 
i won't keep you long 

But i like the way 
that you been 
holding yourself 
and i have to say 
that i admire as well 
born and ranged 
on a desert plain 
first to sprang 
whats your name 
pleasure to meet you 
and let me be blunt 
your a heavenly creature 
and thats what i want 
moddest child 
in a kingdom wild precous 
perl in a wicked world 
and i noticed 
that the light 
has just changed 
and you probably 
got to handle yo things 
but i'm hoping 
that tommorow will brang 
cause my number 
got to promise yo rang 

blame it on rythem 
you can blame it on rhyme 
throw in your cymble 
and get yo 
meetin with time 
It was kinda crazy 
put the moon in my mind 
as i started to say 
when she's walkin away 
that i knew that today 
of all days she was mine 

she was mine 
she was mine 
she was mine
