She was a young,
hopeful dream
Sipping Pina Coladas,
Out with three other girls
And I was thinking I oughta
Have two more shots of courage
On that night as a squatter,
On a bar stool so lonely
Where my eyes had first caught her.
It had been such a long time
Since I’d dared to approach,
A girl as lovely as she was
With all my feelings exposed,
But that night stretched before me
Offering no one to spend,
Time just laughing and chatting
Full of empty again……
Chorus-
She was so far above my expectations
From the abyss in which I existed,
One of earth’s most enticing creations
And so my heart resisted….
But my eyes kept coming back to view
Her beauty that was left tattooed
Piercing my heart full of deepest blues
Begging me to rendevous…….
Then out of nowhere came another guy
overly persistent in his eager tries,
To share with her a dance or two
But I could see “No” in her eyes,
He hung on her like an ugly sweater,
She tried turning him down
but he wouldn’t let her,
so I rose from my stool
and headed her way,
hoping I could make things better….
I tapped his shoulder,
And I said “Excuse me man,
But you’re bugging my girlfriend,
And I can’t understand,
Why you won’t take a no
unless it comes with a fist,
you’d better walk away from this.
Then he walked away
from the ruse I played,
While she was staring at me
in such a curious way,
So I just asked her to dance
and she said okay,
Then we both danced
and drank that night away.
Chorus-
She was so far above my expectations
From the abyss in which I existed,
One of heaven’s most enticing creations
While my heart sat and resisted….
But my eyes kept coming back to view
Her beauty that was left tattooed
Piercing my heart full of deepest blues
Begging me to rendevous…….
And on our way out the door
to forevermore
She whispered with a smile of bliss
“That she thought chivalry was dead,
then she gave me a long sweet kiss.
And I’ve been with her ever since
