We spread a blanket by the sea
Exchanging glances pensively
I wondered if he was aware
Of feelings I held secretly
It was a time for us to share
And tell him just how much I care
We laughed at all the reasons why
That we two should be a pair
With him I can identify
As sure as stars are in the sky
I knew that I was made for him
Emotions I could not deny
I told him of my last love; Tim
How his untimely death was grim
He seemed to care and understand
Suggesting that we take a swim
He reached with love to take my hand
We ran across the evening sand
And changed my mood so I’d forget
A midnight swim that wasn’t planned
He never seems to get upset
And told me I should not regret
The things that happened in the past
To him would never be a threat
I knew my life with him would last
My girlish heart was racing fast
Our beach encounter changed my life
The stage was set the die was cast
He took my pain, he took my strife
He took what cut me like a knife
I offered him my very soul
And I will soon become his wife
