Lyrics

Sally Sue is just a wonder to me, she shines like a beacon in the night
Maybe I'm as blind as a man can be the way I feel it just seems so right

I know she is way out of my league. Everyone says I'm aiming way to high
But maybe she would have a man like me, truth is I'm not afraid to try

She's got long red hair and big green eyes, when she speaks I hear the angels sing
There is an attraction I can't deny, it feels like such dangerous thing

Sally Sue is just a wonder to me, she shines like a beacon in the night
Maybe I'm as blind as a man can be, the way I feel it just seems so right
She's used to having the best of everything, she needs more than I could ever give
Why would she care about what I had to say. Why would she look my way

Sally Sue is just a wonder to me, she shines like a beacon in the night
Maybe I'm as blind as a man can be, the way I feel it just seems so right

So maybe I just need a plan, practice what I'm going to say
To show myself the best way I can and try to keep my fears at bay

If she said no I would fall to my knees, I would still tell her that I want her so
I'd say she is everything that a woman can be I love her from her head to her toes

Sally Sue is just a wonder to me, she shines like a beacon in the night
Maybe I'm as blind as a man can be the way I feel it just seems so right

Sally Sue is just a wonder to me, she shines like a beacon in the night
I don't know if this could ever be but I'm gonna make it right

Very soulful take on that girl we've all had that just seemed way over our heads. I love the instrumentation here. The acoustic feel is ideal and the pause halfway through leading to the brief instrumental fits so well. Reminds me very much of Harry Chapin.

Very pretty vocals
