Out of the Blue

by David Colburn

I once met a girl from out of the blue,

From the very start I loved her. I knew!

I thought to myself, "This is love at first sight

No need to look further, she's no doubt Miss Right!"

So one day I gathered all the wits I could find,

And picked her a rose that was one-of-a-kind

I crossed all my fingers and knocked on her door,

When it swung open my jaw hit the floor

I held out the flower and told her my name,

Shared with her feelings and hoped she felt the same

Her smile kind of faded, and the twinkle left her eyes,

Bad breath, or was it was I said? I couldn't surmise

She told me not to leave, and said she'd be right back,

When she returned she held within her hand a paper sack.

The sack was filled with letters all addressed to me,

And on the front it read in ink, "I couldn't make you see!"

She told me she was sorry that it had to be this way,

She turned around and left me there with no more words to say

Why did I see the beauty a little bit too late?

She'd love me for the longest time, but this was now my fate.

I once met a girl from out of the blue,

From the very start she loved me. I never knew!
