I was 17 She was 15 Her name was Fondly Yes, she's somebody's daughter So I went to her house a calling I knocked on the door And Fondly opened the door I speedingly said Is your father at in is he at home Could you go get him Yet before she left I gaze upon her scarlet bronze eyes And in that moment That one second, we bonded, connected I couldn't replace that moment She left to get her father I gasped whispered to myself I hope her father likes me Her dad came to the door I said good evening sir... Hello Mr. Johnson He immediately said hello son what can I do for you I didn't reply I said Mr Johnson hi my name is Derek and I'm in love with your daughter but sir I honestly can say I can wait until she's of age so we are both young And to tell you the truth when she's 21 I'm coming back here to ask you for her hand in marriage But until then sir I'm going to do all my due diligence to be humbly polite treat it like a queen so one day should be my wife so Mr Johnson Grand and as I came in he told his wife honey you better set another plate for dinner I think my daughter has now and in the future a good man or winner Come on in son and sit down Let's talk now about presence-tense And also those future plans for my princess 9/14/74 Written words by James Edward Lee ©1974, 2021
