You smile and hold her hand
and you greet her.
You start to understand
that you've never
met anyone like her before.
Her style is
the soul of style that wins you
Her smile is
the kind that makes your heart
begin to beat
as it never would beat before
and she has eyes
that sparkle and shine for you
with her embrace around you
The corner she holds
is always brighter
because she brings sunshine
in beside her
Who loves her
is hardly to blame
And Mary is her name.
To repeat myself, I should have been nicer to her. She was a warm, affectionate human being. I have not forgotten her.

After I returned to Brooklyn, I continued writing songs. Why, I don't know. I had no market for them. I did have a market for my story writing which I now concentrated on. I sold a couple of short-shorts before moving to Los Angeles in 1951. I remember my friend Spencer commenting in awe as we ambled down a Manhattan street, "Fifty dollars for a short story! Wow!"
That kind of awe diminished for us as time progressed.
But the song writing went on. The lyrics – as usual – fluctuated between positive and negative. (Which, in brief, probably reflected my mind.)
