When Love Came Walking

When love came walking,
she stopped at my door
and asked for a drink of water;
I never knew what to think, or 
how love found her way to my front door.

I stood amazed,
the twilight in the sky had broke
and she still stood,
smiling with teeth like snow,
and I gave her a drink of water.

She went on her way,
that was two years ago today;
still I sit and ponder over the whole event,
I still sit and wonder if that was my big chance
to find love and fall for her,
but she'll be in the neighborhood again,
I'll just have to wait- with a tall glass of water.
