When you came unto my life
it brightened up my day
some doldrums faded swiftly
I threw the rest away.
The first date is the standard test
will I like her, will she like me?
I was pleased and jubilant
(the way it worked you see).
You were charming and delightful
as we chatted about life
about ordinary things
work and play, stress and strife.
Old loves, better times and music
books we liked and ones we hated
food we loved, the past and present
and things better left unstated.
When you came into my life,
you were like sunshine after rain
I felt whole again, revived
like someone finally free of pain.

You were charming and delightful

and things better left unstated.
When you came into my life,
you were like sunshine after rain
I felt whole again, revived
like someone finally free of pain.
