>I first saw you at the start of school
>You were just sitting there, so calm and cool
>You're eyes so exquisit like the night stars
>They made my stomach feel very bizarre
>You're smile so much brighter than the sun
>It makes my hair stand on end, one by one
>And honestly I thought you were a queen
>Day by day, I know I had to have you
>And as the year moved on, our friendship grew
>Soon a rumor was spread that seemed off-key
>How could it be so that you liked me?
>I asked you to be mine, nevertheless
>And joy filled my heart, when you answered yes
