I knew that she would come for me
For she always returned my glances
I saw in her what few others see
Play my cards to better my chances
What stories her eyes they did tell
Her hands smooth as soft babies skin
I saw her, she put me in a spell
Only for me does she shyly grin
That was the ticket for love's chase
Her lowered eyes each time we meet
The secret smile on that sweetest face
What delicacy, just what a treat
Her hair was fair, her eyes were green
They stared at me my heart went "boom"
I saw the most charming girl I'd seen
She must be the bride and I the groom
