From day one
At first sight of you
Now, fifty-four years ago
To you Sharon, my heart was due
For four years you hadn’t known
I was your secret admirer
And telling you, “I Love You”
My heart’s only true desire
A life altering experience
A young boy falling in love
Suddenly I knew why
Lovers wished on stars above
And although I knew
I needed love too
I never expected
To have love returned from you
I was just so captivated
At sight of your smile
So thoroughly enchanted
Mesmerized of your style
And after confessing
My secret love for you
Before you moved away
“Good-bye” so hard to say, I knew
And now after so much time
I’d give anything to hold you
To gaze upon your smile again
A feeling I never outgrew
You owe me no apologies
As you’ve already filled my life
My memories of you Sharon
My heart’s forever wife
