When I
was young I never thought that I would see the
day,
When I would meet that special girl, but I would have
to say,
That 'oft I prayed that one would come and share my
piece of life,
My prayer was heard and answered on the day I met my
wife.
When I
was young I never thought that life could be so
good,
And that I'd meet an angel, who my troubles
understood,
For though I loved the ladies who were fun and liked
to flirt,
They very soon would tire of me and leave me in the
dirt.
When I
was young the world was big and I was feeling
lost,
My life was moving up and down, with troubles I was
tossed,
And then I met a lady, who would of my burdens
share,
And ever since that moment, it has been a love
affair.
This lady
gave me children, first a boy and then a girl,
And though I wasn't worth it, she would treat me like
a pearl,
Though many years have vanished, she is ever by my
side,
And when I'm with my lady, my whole soul is filled
with pride.
