I saw you from across this very crowded bar
Sipping a julep as sweet as I'm sure that you are
Darling, I'm digging your style
I had to come over once I saw that smile
As I walked over, I started to think
Of a clever way to ask if I could buy you a drink
And God answered me as I started to pray
This is what God thinks I should say:
You are simply the most beautiful girl
God says you're the finest creation he's brought to the world
Baby, you've got to believe
God says you don't but I'm begging you please
To listen carefully
To the last thing God needs me to say
Pretty soon it's gonna rain
And it won't stop
For forty days
I don't know why he's kept us apart
But he wants us together to build him an ark
I know you're drowning, but give me a chance
And I'll be your olive branch
