I was young,

but my love grew for her more each day

But her folks, did not understand,
F
they made me stay away
Dm

Locked in the back between
C
her house and mine
F
There stood an old brown fence
C

And although it stood between us,
D
this is where each day we met

I prayed of all the day would come

We would leave all this behind

The soft touch of her hand

No one would understand

Even though she's in

a different world

Where all her moves are grand

She still can't erase the love she had
