I watched a couple of young lovers holding hands and whispering to each other in a cafe the other day and it reminded me of my younger days.

Lyrics
They Were So Very Different
They were drawn to each other like moths to a flame
Without hesitation like two babes without shame
They shared a lot of smiles, had a lot to say
They were so very different in oh so many ways
They spoke in different tongues, they came from different lands
They prayed to different gods they could not understand
And yet there they were, holding hands in a cafe.
They were so very different in oh so many ways
There they were discovering each others world.
A young and handsome guy, a drop dead beautiful girl.
They had to be so careful and yet they had to stay.
They were so very different in oh so many ways
Magical attractions they’re impossible to explain
And yet they happen every day
People find each other as though it was ordained.
How does this happen? I really can’t say.
She thought “Oooh, I love the smell of his breath as he draws near.”
He thought “I love her soft brown eyes so bright and so clear.”
They’d been waiting all their lives for this special day.
They were so very different in oh so many ways
