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
