From Then Til Now

I would wait outside the school to walk you home, To hold your hand and walk with you alone,You didn’t know but I was so in love, To me you were an angel from above.

At times you were shy to walk with me ,A little scared some of your friends would see, Some would laugh at us as we walked by, But my love for you was something I couldn’t deny.

I’d ask you to a dance up at the school The best I had I’d wear it just for you Oh how pretty you did look back in that day I would take your hand and dance the night away

Your dad would tell you not to stay out late Oh the hours that we would spend down by your gate They would come out to the door and call to you Saying good night was always so hard to do

In church on Sunday morning we would go Your pretty dress oh how your face did glow Your parents they would sit right next to me And we’d hold hands how happy I would be

In that very church later on we were wed In front of all our friends is where I took you hand All the laughter they once had were now all smiles That moment as stayed in my heart from then til now.
