Sweet Little Mina
© 2008 Tom Hoelle

My boss says I’ve got a good shot at a partnership

He even sent me on my own on this critical business trip

My predecessor must’ve been outclassed

He couldn’t seem to handle this task

So I’ll close the deal and I’ll show ‘em all who’s really the best!

There’s a wealthy old Count who’s the last of his clan I’m told

He wants to buy property in town from the deeds I hold

When I settle this deal and come back

My career’s gonna take a fast track

And I’m gonna marry my Sweet Little Mina at last!

She’s my Sweet Little Mina

There’s nothing in the whole wide world that could come between us

Her eyes light up with her smile

With a look that was born to beguile

And though we’ve been in love all this while

Until this trip is over I could only hope to hold her in my dreams

This song will the opening tune for my next cd project... a concept album to tell a classic tale.  The subsequent songs will get rather dark and this bright opener is intended to accentiate their dark nature by providing an overly bright (if somewhat ominous) contrast!  I hope you like it!
