From that very first day
In September 1967
A day I’ll always remember
Your smile, a gift from heaven
For a boy of only ten
Love at first sight
Young were we
But a feeling so right
For it was you Sharon
Who stole my youthful heart
Of which I gladly gave
The love of my life from the start
After only four years
You had to move away
And here I would remain
But my heart with you would stay
Though sad at first
Your smile would heal me
My memories of you
The joy of my life you’d be
For over fifty years
A gift to me you’d give
Cherished within my heart
The smile you left me with
