There she was with her smile that I’ll get stuck
In my mind, at night when I'm trying to sleep
Her hair in her eyes, her voice echoes through my mind
And I can't help but think of what could be
Can't listen to what they say that we're young with simple minds
I know it won't be easy but I'd hate not to try
I need her in my life my dear, to forever, from tonight
We could lay on the grass together with her hand held in mine
I'll make her feel as wonderful as she is in my eyes
I need her in my life my dear, to forever, from tonight
Feelings inside are hard to understand
Life could be easier if we took it hand in hand
I'll sing you songs with words that I'm too shy to say
And you'll learn to love me anyway
My breathings getting quicker and my palms start to sweat
She’s got one of those faces its impossible to forget
I need her in my life my dear, to forever, from tonight
We could lay on the grass together with her hand held in mine
I'll make her feel as wonderful as she is in my eyes
I need her in my life my dear, to forever, from tonight
I need you in my life my dear, to forever, from tonight
