\nWhen we were young your pretty face was all that I could see
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Across the fence that kept our worlds apart
\nAnd every day I’d watch you play and wish you’d play with me
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The little boy who’d given you his heart<\/p>\n
In teenage years you had your share of boys you thought divine
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And once or twice I dated other girls
\nBut there was no-one else for me, though you were never mine
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I dreamt about your freckles and your curls<\/p>\n
Your college days took you away, you studied hard for life
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I wondered if you’d find that special man
\nI qualified and got a job but never found a wife
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For wedding you was still my only plan<\/p>\n
I worked my way toward the top my boss was now your Dad
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Who told me that your married life had failed
\nI couldn’t smile to find your dreams had turned out rather sad
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 But thought that maybe mine weren’t quite derailed<\/p>\n
When next we met you smiled at me and talked of long ago
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 How you had loved to tease the boy next door
\nI tried to hide the way I felt but knew you had to know
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 With just a touch you’d knock me to the floor<\/p>\n
You kissed me, hard, and asked me out, and I could not reply
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now every dream was falling into place
\nHow can a man be thirty four and still be quite so shy
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That crimson blushes flood across his face?<\/p>\n
We’re married now and still in love so nothing much has changed
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You still tease me but now I get to play
\nYour Dad retired and I’m the boss was my life prearranged?
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I wouldn’t have it any other way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
