Kathy's Song

(C) 2020 Frank Patek
Friday afternoon it was rainin' outside.
Comin' out of school take the bus for a ride.
Got a block away and the bus passed me by;
so I thought I might as well walk home.
Walkin' home from school getting wet from the rain.
Watchin' the water run down in the sewer drain.
See a girl walk out with a book on her head,
so I thought I'd turn and walk the other way.
The girl could mean so much to me.
She's as pretty as can be.
And I think she needs to know.
I really need to show her.
That I'm not the average Joe.
I said "Excuse me and how do you do".
I said "I think I'd like to spend my time with you".
I walked her home, in the pouring rain.
And I asked if I could see her again.
Ten years and some days have gone by.
It seems like yesterday I asked you for my wife.
I'm so glad I walked you home, in the pouring rain.
And I'm glad I get to see you again.
Girl, you mean so much to me.
You’re the only one I'll see.
And I think you need to know.
That I need you so, more then you’ll ever know.
Girl, you mean so much to me.
You’re as pretty as can be.
And I think you need to know.
That I love you so, so glad I said Hello.
