The Station Seat

Who would have known what would come to be

as I sat waiting; a girl; for she

the one who always turned up late

the morning train was due at eight!

A girl I thought had smile so sweet...

the girl who sat on the station seat.

I couldn't really ask for anything more

when I saw her there in my local store!

A glance across the 'frozen aisle'

a look; a nod; and that beautiful smile

that caused my heart to skip a beat...

it was the girl who sat on the station seat!

Who would have thought we travel the same way

the eight o'clock train almost every day!

Time together; lifes 'ebb and flow'

a chance to chat and get to know,

but to discover I lived on the very same street...

as the girl who sat on the station seat!

Who would've guessed from all of this

that love would grow; sealed with a kiss!

The girl who always turned up late

saying yes to our very first date

no other girl swept me off my feet...

like the girl who sat on the station seat

Who would have thought after all this time

me just a little past my prime 

our little house; the children grown

time together to call our own

with all the things that we have done

with still so much we've yet begun

that I am the luckiest man there can be

with the girl from the station still sat next to me!
