[Male Tenor]
It was nineteen sixty-two
Snow was falling cold and blue
The college bar was calm that night
As he walked in, he saw her there
Golden light upon her hair
She was eating an apple--It didnât look right
He walked up and asked her why
She just laughed and caught his eye
That was when he came to know
How fast his love for her did grow
[Female Soprano]
She liked the way he smiled
Kind and easy, warm and mild
They talked until she had to head
For the college, where her roommate said
Thereâs a bad-boy rumor being fed
Sheâd like to know what he hid
For weeks, she wondered what he did
After many calls, he set things right
He turned her dark thoughts into light
There was another guy in that town
Funny how a wrong guy mix-up
Nearly stopped their whole lifeâs script up
Before the hand of fate could lay it down
[Male Tenor]
Christmas came, and plans went wrong
A case of pneumonia came along
She was laid up in the college infirmary
He gave her flowers and did her biz
And prayed that someday sheâd be his
Though love was young and fragile as could be
[Female Soprano]
Then, before the old yearâs end
And the new year rolling in
They made up for the dates theyâd missed
Dinner, hockey, and dancing too
Three dates before the night was through
Before the clock struck twelve, they managed to kiss
[Chorus Four-Part harmony soprano, alto, tenor, bass]
The girl who was eating an apple
And the boy who crossed the room
Found a love that kept on growing
Like wildflowers in bloom
Through the years and all the miles
Through the laughter and the tears
Love kept them side by side
For sixty golden years
