This is a Leonard Cohen song called 'So Long Marianne' that I am albe to add Millie Ann's name to.

Not to be missunderstode as me saying so long as I do not want to do that.

Just a song I love as much as I love my wife.

Won't you come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Well, you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angel
and then the angels forget to pray for us.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

We met when we were almost young.
Deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
as we went kneeling through the dark.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Your letters say that you are beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious.
I never said that I was brave.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

O you are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
to wash my eyelids in the rain.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
