程度の副詞

A salty summer time ago when I was just sixteen,

When everyone was saving up and swimming the ravine,

When all you really thought about was buying your first car.

Even if you never plan on going very far.

I was serving soy lattes to make a measly buck.

And one day when I felt like I could use a little luck,

An old man came into the store and ordered a tall drip.

But as he approached the door, he pocketed some sugar packets

I didn't think to much of it, but when the next day came,

He ordered. Waited. Left a tip. And then he did the same.

He grabbed three sugar packets up, and put them in his sleeve.

I couldn't think of why this man would want these sugar packets.

Maybe he just liked to keep them, in his pants and jackets.

So finally I decided to confront this sugar bandit.

I didn't wait for him to speak, I came right out and said,

Then may I ask you what's with all the sugar that you've stolen.

"My wife for fifty years is very sick and cannot eat.

But every day she asks me if I would bring her something sweet."

My quaking voice rose just enough to ask the old man's name

Then winked his weary eye and gave a tip.

He left the store, with several sugar packets in his grip.

The next day when he didn't come to claim his bitter drink,

I figured he was fine, but missed the comfort of his wink.

Something deep inside my chest began to feel all hollow.

Fourteen days went by, before I saw it in the Times.

passed away just two weeks after darling wife Marie.

I know it's kind of strange, to tell a story on this day,

I guess it just embodies what I can't find words to say.
