When I First Saw You April 4
When I First Saw You There
When I first saw you there
You came to me
In a dream
And disappeared,
Haunting me
For eight long years.
When I First Saw You In Person
I was overwhelmed
This fairy tale dream of mine
This impossible quest
To find the girl in the dream
Was finally over.
She was real,
And she was here.
In front of me.
When I First Spoke With You
I knew that this was it
We would be together
From then on
You were the one,
I proposed three days later.
When I First Kissed You
When I first kissed you
that was the beginning
Of a 40- year love affair.
When I Married You
That was the beginning
Of my life
From that moment
I had no doubt
Whatever life brought my way,
You would be there
In the end
That is all that matters.
