The Little Hebrew Girl

I love you." the little hebrew girl having lived her fleeting time rested near the churchyard where the bells chime promising we'll climb that Letras de cancionesfinal day to peter's gate maybe she can hear them ringing maybe death is not too late "mama... I love you." From Letras Mania
