Sunshine smiling with a school girl look in her eye
Flowers lean forward and breathe, when she wanders by
Simply fresh, like the first touch of Spring
With a fine somethin' somethin', sweet as you've ever seen
Brown eyes leave you silly and you can't stand straight
Toes start tapping and your knee starts to shake
Okay, Renee... you scared the clouds away
There ain't no darkness for miles and miles around
Okay, Renee... you're gonna have to stay
Whole town's praisin' your name with a joyful sound
Her too fine mama was queen of the Cordon Bleu
She and daddy was raised up down on the bayou
Beauty so deep, and such a smooth grace
No one nation could have made that face
You better be careful when you take her back home
Cause her kin'll buy a ring and call the preacher on the phone
Okay, Renee... you're bound to get your way
Who could say no to a soft summer midnight breeze
Okay, Renee... Come on out and play
The children got you cornered begging "Please! Please! Please!"
Okay, Renee... kind woman, if I may
Gonna sing this song til it sure 'nuff sends me home
Okay, Renee... until I'm old and gray
Gonna thank the good lord that made you
And praise the good folks that raised you
With a heart and a spark that reminds me what this love is about
