[verse]

You called me and told me all about yourself —

a voice like an angel sweet.

You thought we had much in common to share,

so we both decided to meet.

I never was one for a blind date before,

I never wanted surprise.

I heard from my friends who had tried this before,

that every blind date tells lies.

I heeded the warning and prepared for the worst

as I waited outside by the door.

I just can’t forget the sounds that night —

the quaint restaurant down by the shore.

The ocean breeze tried to sober me up

as we walked hand in hand on the sand.

Her hair floated like an angel’s breath —

for the first time, I felt like a man.

The moonlight danced on her laughing eyes,

a sparkle I’ll never forget.

We talked ‘til the candles burned down to the glass,

no trace of regret or pretense.

The stars overhead whispered soft little tunes

as we wandered beneath their light.

Two strangers who dared to roll destiny’s dice,

and love found its way through the night.

Now when folks talk of blind dates gone bad,

I smile and just let them be.

For I took that chance by the edge of the sea,

and she’s still walking with me.
