My heart longed for a sweetheart A sweetheart to hold and cherish And fate brought him to me On that cold December day When sunlight was watery and weak I met him as an instructor Of my younger brother’s fancy day ball My life was spent in loneliness Afraid to make any friends For one by one They all go away I was on the edge of despair And fate brought him to me He looked into my eyes And my soul passed in his care We met on every Sunday And months turned into years My life was a long search Search for a mate Search for a friend Search for some laughter To soothe my aching heart To ease my pain And fate brought him to me He taught me to trust He caught my hand when I fell He took me to the movies We ate in roadside cafes We smiled and danced and kissed Now he is beside me Caring for me Being my mate, my friend Fate brought him to me And I shall be his forever
