The first few times I met her, she was only just a child
I
knew
she was a special person by the way she smiled
I
was far too shy to start a real conversation
And
I probably could not handle the situation
I
probably would have messed up I was just eleven
But
I really thought I had died and gone to heaven
So
I kept my big mouth silenced like my tongue was bitten
But
I can admit it now I was really smitten
I
said to my brother to that girl I'll once be married
Said
my brother I do not think you need being hurried
You
have not even asked her cranky father for her hand
And
how will you get all the money for the wedding band
He
just kept on talking, talking said I must be raving
He
said no girl would marry a man that wasn't yet shaving
Often
you'd think your brother would be a regular bloke
And
not the kind who enjoys sending your dreams up in smoke
I
knew my brother was right and I'd have to bide my time
But
a person can have secret dreams and that is no crime
As
the years went by I dabbled sports grew up and matured
She
and I were always together I felt so assured
But
her father didn't like me I was only a dumb jock
I
met him on the street one day I said that was a crock
For
that little righteous outburst I am totally banned
I
found my brother was right and I found it out first hand
