A Dime Store Romance
How could this be, it just doesn't happen
Feels like a dime store romance
Something contrived with a short snappy title
Too perfect to happen by chance
But real love it is, make no mistake
As real as the gleam in your eyes
When we see a stranger who turns your head
Can't stop staring though we try
It's best not to question it, this magical time
It stays the whole of your life
If you recognize the signs jump at the chance
They don't usually happen twice
A special moment, when the world stands still
It can last thirty years or more
Nothing can change it, heaven nor hell
A feeling that can't be ignored
