I remember when I first saw you
Under an October sky
You were looking there at me
With your deep brown eyes
And I said to myself
Why don't I give her a try?
I think I may, I think I might
Try and make her mine tonight

I said "Hey, we could be friends
From the beginning to the very end
And it don't matter what they say
'Cause I will love you
To the very last day of our lives

When all of our friends
Are going after perfect tens
I'll find no need to pretend
That you are far more beautiful
Than all of the girls
With their head in the clouds
'Cause the one who I've found
Is more desirable."

Soon I'll die and I'll be with the Lord
In that home in heaven
That I've been waiting for
And I'll walk down those streets
Of gold with pride
'Cause from the early moments
Of my life I realized...
