THE NIGHT WE MET
By Costa Rica Bart
Thirty-seven years, and I still see that night
In a crowded club under neon light
You walked in and changed my life
And I thank God for it every day
From a chance encounter to a lifetime plan
Girl, I’m still your man
And I’ll love you through it all
Like the night I answered love’s call
An attractive blonde… with hair so bright
I couldn’t help but stare that night
I don’t remember… if I said hello
My friend said, “Hey let’s go to another club down the road”
5 minutes later I was just standing there at the bar
you walked in… like a fresh breath of air
You came right up… and said with a grin
“I see you followed us again”
I laughed and said… “How could that be?
I was here before you… you followed me”
hi my names Bart
she said I'm Karla
i said that's a beautiful name
Can I buy you a drink
But I got distracted… and forgot to pay,
I didn’t think i maked the best impression that night
So I stepped outside… to clear my mind
That’s when I saw Karla in her friends Jeep
So I walked over… and apologized for the drink
i ask Can i sit and talk awhile
And she welcomed me… with that smile
Then five minutes later… trouble came around
That’s when the bouncers came out and told trouble to leave right now
We talked some more… and she looked at me and said
“Why didn’t you tell me… you were a college wrestler and football star”
And I smiled and said
“Why didn’t you tell me… you worked at the University
And at Memphis Hospital… as an ICU nurse?”
We talked for hours… and time stood still
Like love had found us… against our will
Thirty-seven years later were still together
i love you and if we are together for Thirty-sevenyears more
even if i dont remember my name i will love you just the same maybe even more
Karla your the one I adore
