Girl Around the Corner

Girl Around the Corner (by Ahmad Babar):
My thoughts go back to the first time we had met
She walked towards me as I lit a cigarette
She paused as she neared me
She smiled at me sweetly
She said, "Do you know that cigarettes are not good for you?"
I stood perplexed not knowing what to do
There was something in her eyes that made me throw it away
All of a sudden it seemed like a beautiful day
At that moment I knew that I had fallen for her
The more she looked at me the more I felt warmer
As she moved to walk on I held her hand
The young boy felt like a man
I said, "Hey, thank you"
She said, "Thank you too"
I said, "Hey angel won't you tell me your name"
She said, "Are you insane?"
I told her that I don't know
She told me she had to go
I asked when will I see her again
She laughed and said, "You are seriously insane"
I told her what I felt about her
I told her that I had fallen for her
She stood wondering about what I had just said
Her eyes showed that she was perplexed
I told her to give me one chance
I asked her out for a dance
She stood there in complete silence
In the back of my mind I was hearing violins
Finally she opened her mouth
She made an effort to shout
But something inside her stopped her
She asked me if I really loved her
I told her to seek the answer in my eyes
As she did lightning lightened up the sky
An unexplained tear rolled down her cheek
I thought that my chances were bleak
She gave a shy smile and agreed
I felt weak in my knees
I took her number and told her I will give her a call
She said she will wait for me in the dance hall
That night I had the best dance ever
Maybe it was because I was with her
We still dance every night
In my arms she still feels just right
Tonight once again I want to thank her
Had she not stopped me I would have never fallen in love with her
And I would have missed out on all of this
I would have never known the pleasure of the taste of her kiss
I would have never been the man that I am today
And I would have never said what I had to say
So thank you girl, I will always love you
No matter what I do I will do it for you
