Here's a Little Story

Here's a little story
how two people met
No, its not about
Romeo and Juliet

It's quite simple
and with no matchmaker in sight
It started with a computer
and an email one night

Sit right back
and grab a cold drink
It's very interesting
let me know what you think

With a chat online
with a name that caught my eye
waiting for an hello 
and no goodbye

What was more amazing
that I could not believe
was she lived
very close to me

Now you know
who this story is about
what you don't know 
is how it turns out

I took a chance
and asked her for a date
Did I finally find someone
was she my mate?

The story gets better
I promise you that
I ranged the doorbell
thought about where I was at

My heart was pounding
my knees were weak
a red rose in my hand
a few words to speak

A man came to the door
I didn't know what to do
Then I saw her standing there
Thats when I knew

I handed her the rose
I saw the smile on her face
I took her to eat
and my favorite place.

I took her to see a movie
we caught it on the big screen
I treated her like a woman
if you know what I mean

It was getting late
time to drive her back
no attempt for a kiss
I was just laid-back

I took another chance
and I went in for the kill
asked her for another date
and she said, "yes I will."

So I drove home
and I went straight to bed
thinking about her that night
with memories in my head

Never a thought 
our relationship will last
a chance we both took
that night from our past.

There's something else
I have to add
after 4 years later
I became a dad
