Lyrics
… Well, I walked up to her and I asked her if she wanted to dance
She looked awful nice, and so I hoped she might take a chance
When we danced, I held her tight
Then I walked her home that night
And all the stars were shining bright, and then I kissed her
… Each time I saw her, I couldn’t wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know that I was more than a friend
I didn’t know just what to do
And so I whispered, “I love you”
And she said that she loved me too, and then I kissed her
… I kissed her in a way that I’d never kissed a girl before
I kissed her in a way that I hope she liked for evermore
… I knew that she was mine, so I gave her all the love that I had
And one day, she’ll take me home to meet her mom and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride
And always be right by my side
I felt so happy that I almost cried, and then I kissed her
… And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
