Sparkin'

The one room school house always was too full. The windows oversized and chill on winter days. You sat behind me, I thought you were real cool, one day you passed a note to me to say... I Love YOU, you wrote in colored pencil. I kissed the yellow paper on that line, then took out a red pen and I stenciled a perfect heart, PLEASE Be My Valentine. He blushed from ear to ear and, he scribbled more a crumpled paper said, "Please meet me in the park... on the bench, by the fence,".. too cute to ignore. The bell rang, out we went into the dark to spark. That day so long ago, now we're old and gray I often think of that kiss, as near me, my man lays.
