I remember a little sandy haired girl
Who used to play with my sister everyday
Where I was they somehow managed to be
I always grumbled when they got in my way.
Time changes things people come and go
My sister's friend didn't live near us anymore
Years passed and I became a man seemingly overnight
Life was changing fast nothing was like before.
Eventually my work took me to foreign lands
When my work was complete I came back home
One day my sister said someone wanted to meet me
Someone I used to know in days long gone.
When my sister introduced me to her friend
I knew she was the sandy haired girl I used to know
But I couldn't believe how much she had changed
My heart noticed it too, because it was in a crazy whirl.
If you guessed I lost my heart that day
You guessed right
Because today that sandy haired girl is my wife
I couldn't possibly be happier than I am
Knowing she'll be with me all my life.
Sandy haired girl I love you.
