Lessons Learned In Youth
Lessons Learned In Youth.
Eyes like diamonds decorating a rose
sweet lips to decorate her perfect nose
A face made for benefit for all to see
a girl too good for the likes of me
She passed me by not even casting a glance
yet my mind was on pure romance
I could hear her song night and day
yet to me she had nothing to say
Foolish dreaming gathered me no date
best to speak before it is too late
O' what words would serve me well
I had nobody to help me , nobody to tell
Fearing the worst and praying for the best
I decided to try a very simple test
As she passes by I'd just step up to boldly say
Hello! And then begin to earnestly pray
That my bold step was met with a good reply
she'd be nice to me yet I know not why
Doubts and fear racked my fevered brain
daggers in my heart was my relentless pain
So I finally ventured receiving a great reward
finding suddenly talking to her wasn't at all hard
We dated for forty-seven blissful summer days
then each found others and parted ways
I learned nothing ventured nothing you will gain
yield not to fear stepping out into the glorious rain
Life sends us on a glorious and rewarding ride
best just go with the flow , ride high on the tide
