Until That One Time
George Cook 1934 (Lanarkshire)
Until that one time when I met you
In my thoughts love had no place
And I couldn’t see
Things changing for me
Till I saw your smiling face
From then on though times became different
And I had a change of view
When you did agree
On a chance for me
To meet one more time with you
I did, then I asked the same question
Before I bade you goodnight
When you answered “Yes,
There’s no need to guess”
I knew I’d done something right
The question that I had to ask now
Somewhat different than before
“If you do agree,
Will you marry me
And be us forever more”
Your answer didn’t surprise me and
In my thoughts love found a place
And now I could see
Things had changed for me
Because of your smiling face
