A boy met a girl
that’s how it did begin.
One smile from her,
and his heart was in.
He said to her,
“I think I love you.
Please, tell me now,
do you love me, too?
Girl, I’m in this –
I want to give you my name.
If I’m not alone,
tell me, do you feel the same?”
And he held his breath
waiting for her to say something…
She smiled and said,
“Boy, I’m from Wyoming,
so let me tell you
and make it perfectly clear
what you have
standing before you here.
You are my life
and you are now my world.
My heart belongs to you –
I am your Wyoming girl.
My love is as pure
as a Wyoming starry night.
It’s as powerful
as the Wyoming wind’s might.
It’s more faithful
than Yellowstone’s famed geyser.
It’s more beautiful
than Gannett Peak and much higher.
One look from you has the same power
to send me to the moon
like those girls on Devil’s Tower.
I’ll follow you
because you are my everything.
Do you get it, boy?
My love is as big as Wyoming.”
