To think I nearly didn’t go

To that party where we met

The thought of us not meeting

That’s a thought I must forget

Who knew on that spooky night

I would meet my life long mate

Something must have made me go

I think they call it fate

You went with that girl Marylyn

She called you on the phone

Wanted you to go with her

But you ended up alone

I came over and I spoke to you

You were standing by the door

We chatted as we sipped our drinks

And then we spoke some more

We flirted with the boys back then

They wanted us to dance

Short black dress and high heel shoes

They never stood a chance

We really hit it off that night

You were only seventeen

Our seeds of love were planted

On that special Halloween

Nine years on our seeds have grown

We never saw them grow

They’d been there for a long long time

But we just didn’t know

If you ask me why I fell for you

I don’t know what I’d say

The one thing that I know for sure

I love you more each day

We love each other very much

That clearly can be seen

I’m feeing so much love for you

As we near this Halloween

I’ve something I must say to you

I’m going to shout it loud

I’ll love you babe with all my heart

Of that I’m really proud.
