queen mary Songtext
von Nellie McKay

Queen for a day
They′ll call me queen for a day
And every day of my life
If that life is with you

In clover out of the past
We'll find the hope there will last
And every moment that′s past
Has a fine future too

And if we're asked
What of the present tense my dear
We'll say it′s common sense it′s clear
The portal's peeking thru

How I love you
How I love you
And I love you
Patiently


Queen for the night
Not just a fling but a flight
Where everything will come right
In my kingdom with you

Queen for a day
They′ll call me queen for a day
And every day of my life
If that life is with you

In clover out of the past
We'll find the hope there will last
And every moment that′s past
Has a fine future too

And if we're asked
What of the present tense my dear
We′ll say it's common sense it's clear
The portal′s peeking thru

How I love you
How I love you
And I love you
Patiently


Queen for a day
They′ll call a queen's holiday
Where every monarch holds sway
In our kingdom for two

Queen for the night
Not just a fling but a flight
Where everything will come right
In my kingdom with you

Queen for a day
Although they may be passé
But every queen has her day
And that day is with you
