This is about my best friends sister
we all used to hang out together
and one day we noticed one another
and as soon as that happened it was over
because i was best friends with her brother
she told everyone she would not marry another
until she new i was being looked after
she wanted babies, me to be the father.

If I new what I know now, she kept her promise
I bumped into her the other day
she still looked so beautiful
and my feelings for her has stayed
she was shopping with her mother
and I just stood there tongue tied
the only thing i managed to get out
was hello and goodbye

It wasn't long after that me and her brother fell out
back when we were teenagers,
I just couldn't at the time
even though I new what it mean't to her.
I went through hell I remember, the drink and drugs
I denied my---self true-- love
Everyone around me got hurt in all so many ways
I just couldn't function without seeing her face
and to know now her love has never died
makes my heart sink bow my head and cry.

I have no idea where she lives, or how to contact her
will i have to wait for another 20 years
her name was joy, she certainly gave that to me
though the few months we had, will last an eternity
sacrifices made in friendship is not always right
I live with a stranger she is my wife.
I've never thought that love could be that strong,
all those years apart could i have been so wrong.

She was so right for me, solid as stone
I am an old dog now, eccept that it's long gone
I hope now she will marry
knowing I am happily married to
just don't ever let this happen to anyone of you.
