lyrics

She smiled the first time I saw her
I prayed she was smiling for me
She stood for a while in the corner
And I said what would be it would be

Then she came 'round and sat down beside me
Her eyes never once leaving mine
She looked like she came from California
And my, she looked so divine.

Chorus
And we talked and we talked for a good while
And we drank and we toasted good wine
And we walked and we talked and she did smile
And I prayed that someday she'd be mine
And we sat and watched the sunset that evening
And we danced beneath the stars up above
And the moon shone so fair on her golden hair
I knew we were falling in love
Yes I knew we were falling in love

Then I asked her if she would consider
How lonely my life it would be
And I asked her if she'd be my woman
And make an honest man out of me.

Then she smiled like the first time I saw her
As she told me that she'd be my bride
And we watched as the sun set that evening
As we strolled hand in hand side by side.

Chorus
