Hero
I come here night after night
Always seeing the same faces
Am I looking for love
in all the wrong places
I sit at my usual table
and order my usual drink
Here Sir, as the waitress sets it down
and I thank her with a wink
The room is dimly lit
with candles on each table
but I see sitting at the bar alone
the most breathtaking damsel
Her hair is like spun silk
and dark as midnight
Her shape is the finest
under her dress skin tight
Her legs are firm and shapely
and stretch for miles
She is the type of woman
behind every man's smiles
Dare I approach
this goddess of the night
with the hopes
that a love so true could ignite
With conviction in my heart
if nothing ventured nothing gained
I rise to my feet
with the beat of my heart uncontained
As the top of her glass
her finger traces
I wonder am I looking for love
in all the wrong places
Am I missing my life's chance
as I turn to go
Left always wondering
if I could be her hero
