She was a young, hopeful dream

Sipping Pina coladas,

Out with three other girls

And I was thinking I oughta

Have two more shots of courage

On that night as a squatter,

On a bar stool so lonely

Where my eyes had first caught her.

It had been such a long time

Since I’d dared to approach,

A girl as lovely as she was

With all my feelings exposed,

But that night stretched before me

Offering no one to spend,

Time just laughing and chatting

Full of empty again……

Chorus-

She was so far above my expectations

From  the abyss in which I existed,

One of heaven's most enticing creations

While my heart sat and resisted….

But my eyes kept coming back to view

Her beauty that was left tattooed

Piercing my heart full of deepest blues

Begging me to rendezvous…….

Then out of nowhere came another guy

overly persistent in his eager tries,

To share with her a dance or two

But I could see “No” in her eyes,

He hung on her like an ugly sweater,

She tried turning him down

but he wouldn’t let her,

so I rose from my stool

and headed her way,

hoping I could make things better….

I tapped his shoulder,

And  I said “Excuse  me man,

But you’re bugging my girlfriend,

And I can’t understand,

Why you won’t take a no

unless it comes with a fist,

you’d better walk away from this.

Then he walked away

from the ruse I played,

While she was staring at me

in such a curious way,

So I just asked her dance

and she said okay,

Then we both danced

and drank that night away.

Chorus-

She was so far above my expectations

From  the abyss in which I existed,

One of heaven’s most enticing creations

While my heart sat and resisted….

But my eyes kept coming back to view

Her beauty that was left tattooed

Piercing my heart full of deepest blues

Begging me to rendezvous…….

And on our way out the door

to forevermore

She whispered with a smile of bliss

“That she thought chivalry was dead,

then she gave me a long sweet kiss.

And I’ve been with her ever since.
