Holly Would
Jackie DeShannon

(Jackie DeShannon) 

She loved rings & string 
Like music rite of spring 
She'd often choose it 
She spoke like greetings soaked in time 
Her autumn-colored hair was fine 
She wore cottons quite a lot 
She loved dark tea & coffee pot 
She lived with a dog & cat 
Forever yours & after that 

CHORUS: 
I remember that to Holly everyone was good 
No one has ever loved the way Holly could 
She never cared about herself the way she should 
No one will ever treat you like Holly would 

She collected dolls up-dressed 
& always spoke of her friend Yasmine 
She was fond of poetry 
Durelvion Cummings, E.E. 
She loved riding in a train 
& "catch me" was her favorite game 
She loved the yard, Bernard & Clay 
She only ate one meal a day 

(chorus twice)
