Did You Tell Her

Did you tell her she's pretty, son
An' that you like her hair
Did you ask her if she'd like to ride
Out in the mountain air

Does she know her brown eyes sparkle-
Her smile makes your knees weak
An' does she know her voice is soft-
You love to hear her speak

Yep, all these things she needs to hear
She's shoppin' 'round you know
She'll drive you crazy while she looks
But you just let her go

Then one day right out of the blue
She'll recall all you told
That she's pretty, your knees are weak -
And that you're mighty bold

An' that's the way it works, my boy
Don't always make no sense
But when it does it lasts a life
An' love forever hence

Good advice given. Youth do not always take it, but when they listen to the voice of experience, good things happen. Well done.
