I saw her smile from across the room

The romance began and my love did bloom

She then gave me a glance, I wanted to dance

Underneath the stars and the glow of the moon.

She would be mine forever that night I thought

As slowly towards her that love I sought

We will dance and laugh, she will become my path

She will be mine when her heart I had caught.

I close my eyes and I see us years from now

Together we became one as I gave my vow

She became my mate, and now our life is our fate

With every step closer that promise I avow.

Closer and closer as I approached her my love

As though watched and coached from angels above

I am so near, now her presence and voice I do hear

Now only her and I is all that I am thinking of.

I finally arrive and each other we finally do see

She must know I am the man that she wants me to be

So I reach out my hand, to make that final stand

Then she turns to me and say, that glance wasn’t for me.
