Sapphires

“Sapphires Are A Girl’s Best Friend”

My mother told me to strive for love;
Find a man to keep me warm at night.
But all I found were fickle boys;
Who only wanted to steal my light.
Sure they were handsome;
With honey on their tongue –
But sapphires are a girl’s best friend.

I did my best to make mom proud;
Let too many men dull my shine.
Once I learned the love of a gemstone;
I realized alone I’d be fine.
A marquise will twinkle;
Even when I’ve wrinkled –
Those sapphires are a girl’s best friend.

(Bridge 1)
The first time I saw that stone glitter on my finger;
I knew it was love at first sight.
Cabochon, trillion, make me one in a million;
And help my inner glow to ignite.

The colors span the spectrum;
In blue, green, violet, and pink.
One dangle of that Elamiri gem;
May just earn you a wink.
With a selection this endless;
I’ll never be friendless –
Yes, sapphires are a girl’s best friend.

Sweet words are all empty;
And cold as a winter’s breeze.
Over time men’s love will fail;
Their arms will make you freeze.
But this ice stone looks so nice;
Have heads turning ‘round twice –
Oh, sapphires are a girl’s best friend.

(Bridge 2)
The way to this girl’s heart is duskbloom and phantom;
In hues like the midnight sky.
Pear, round, or rose-shaped, on my shoulders when draped;
Their beauty no one can deny.

(Big finish!)
Dalaeji are bolder, while crimson do smolder –
Oh, sapphires are a girl’s best friend.
Those Tempest and Twilight, keep me sparkling all night –
‘Cause sapphires –
Yes, these sapphires;
Oh, sapphires are a girl’s best friend.
