My Own Sweet Way
I've just met an angel, heavenly divine
Oh how I wish that she was mine
The magic was potent, I fell in the moment
I guess it just happens that way
I told my best friend, of what I intend
He laughed then he said 'you're a fool'
I know I'm not wrong and it wont be very long
Before I get her saying I do - but
When I see her walking down the street each day
My heart just skips a beat my mouth goes dry
My tongue is tied I cannot speak these words at all
As she smiles and just walks by
I need to tell her how I feel and come what may
To find the nerve to stop her and say
I'll marry you gladly, I love you really madly
But I'll do it in my own sweet way
Today is the day, I will have my say
And tell her how I feel so I'll be strong
I'm walking down the street, I know that we will meet
I'm ready for it right or wrong
She's come into view, I know what I must do
It's now or never, Excuse Me Please!
It's such a lovely day and I really have to say
These words of love within my heart for you
When I see her walking down the street each day
My heart just skips a beat my mouth goes dry
My tongue is tied I cannot speak these words at all
As she smiles and just walks by
I need to tell her how I feel and come what may
To find the nerve to stop her and say
I'll marry you gladly, I love you really madly
But I'll do it in my own, my very very own
I'll do it in my own sweet way
