LYRIC FOR SALE

By Joseph M. Kockelmans

[Verse 1]

I was fifteen years old when you moved in next door,
'Twas so young, but my heart skipped its first beat.
You were so cute, I just had to know who you were,
Next Day I got up the courage, it was time to meet.
You said your name is Jerry, I said my name is Ruth,
I just knew one day you'd be mine, my soul knew it was the truth.

[Chorus]

My heart went pitter pat, that day I saw that boy standing there,
He'd just moved in, smiling without a care.
One day I just knew he'd be mine,
I wanted his loving all the dang time.
When he shook my hand after that first hello,
I just simply didn't want to let it go.

[Verse 2]

A few years went by and that boy is mine,
He hugs and kisses me all the time.
We're making wedding plans, our future looks bright,
my man and two kids would be a heavenly delight.
The day came 'round when we said, I do,
What won't ever fade is my love for you.

[Chorus]

My heart went pitter pat, that day I saw that boy standing there,
He'd just moved in, smiling without a care.
One day I just knew he'd be mine,
I wanted his loving all the dang time.
When he shook my hand after that first hello,
I just simply didn't want to let it go.
My heart went pitter pat, that day I saw that boy standing there,
He'd just moved in, smiling without a care.
One day I just knew he'd be mine,
I wanted his loving all the dang time.
When he shook my hand after that first hello,
The stars aligned, back then..., how did I ever know?
