But All I Could Do Was Dream

She was only seventeen And I was forty four She just happened To live on the next floor Only seventeen only seventeen She looked like an angel But all I could do was dream On the stairs when we passed We caught each other’s eyes I could hear my pounding heart Could she hear my muffled sighs Only seventeen only seventeen She looked like an angel But all I could do was dream She wore the shortest mini skirt That I had ever seen Her legs long and lovely But all I could was dream Yeah’ all I could do was dream Only seventeen only seventeen She looked like an angel But all I could do was dream I’ve never forgot the time When she moved away She politely kissed me on the cheek And said now you behave Only seventeen only seventeen She looked like an angel But all I could do was dream Only seventeen, only seventeen Oh’ how I miss her so Wonder what she's doing now But hey’ I guess I'll never know © Copyright K.C.Leake 30th October 2014 All Rights Reserved
