The Girl Who Waved Lyrics

Minding my business, my way home from school

I wasn't that lonely but sure wasn't cool

I heard her say wait from somewhere far behind

I turned back to look and I thought in my mind

I'm not ready for this today

This girl is waving so what do I say

I stood there are waited so she could catch up

She looked at me funny but she didn't stop

In spite of my awkward unjustified fear

We walked home together the rest of the year

I'm not ready for this to end

This girl has become my very best friend

I didn't know, I didn't know

How could I know, how could I know

We never lost touch through the years after school

And met up again at our ten year reunion

Another few years and I offered a ring

To wear on the hand she'd been waving at me

I'm not ready for what she might say

This girl is all that I need today

How could I know, how could I know

I didn't know, I didn't know

She was the one, but now I know

It's funny how moments you don't realize

Can make all the difference to so many lives

It makes a good story to say it was fate

but turns out what happened was just a mistake

Turns out she wasn't waving at me that day

Her ride was leaving without her

(They just drove away)

But as they drove off, their loss was my gain
