Story Behind The Song

A man see's a girl across a crowded bar and nervously approaches her to get to know her. Then he invited her for a walk along the beach then invited her home. Then things evolve and he invites her to stay the night and they begin a new life together.

Lyrics

I first saw you standing there, across a crowded room
Talking there with your friends, on this sultry day in June

You were shy and quiet but talking - and never looked at me
I was studying you as I watched - but you didn't even see

You were stunningly beautiful - it made me scared and shy
How you could affect me so - I could not imagine why

I slowly came up to you - and trembled as I spoke
You smiled at me and broke the ice - with a silly little joke

I asked your name and you said to me - hi my name is Cher
I said hello, I am Drew - as I fought to control my fear

I asked you so timidly - if you would leave and walk with me
You asked me where and I said - we could walk down to the sea

I held your hand as we walked - and together we merged as one
We talked till dawn and shared our thoughts - as we embraced the setting sun

You asked me shy and timidly - if I was still all alone
And I replied, yes I was - as we walked slowly towards my home

I said, I live very close to here - very near the sea
Would you like to come home with me - and we could have a cup of tea

We strolled along hand in hand - as we listened to the sea
As silence fell upon us - with the feeling of being free

When we arrived home we sat and talked - and drank as we guessed
Where this night would lead us - and what would happen next

We sat together on the couch - and felt each others breath
As we held each other closely - was it too much too expect

Together we were panting - as I loosened up her dress
And at first she resisted me - but could not resist the touch of my caress

We held each other tightly - as we merged again as one
As we let our inhibitions fall away - as I kissed her with my tongue

The night went by so quickly - and I asked her to stay the night
And she shyly smiled and looked at me - then she whispered to me... alright.

We laid in bed together - locked in a passionate embrace
And wondered how we got here - as we stared at each other's face

As for the meaning of life.... its very plain to see.
As we live our lives together - in the endeavor to be free

We cope with all the differences - between a woman and a man
Only to accept these faults - with a token grain of sand

Five years have come and gone - and our life remains the same
We live our lives together - between the fire and the flame

Life's too short to suffer - without love in our hearts
So find someone to share it with - as a lifelong counterpart

We only live once and truly must - feel love in our heart
Or life will simply pass us by - and bitterness will impart

Try to remember these wise words - as you live your future lives
For life's too short to live alone - as we all struggle to survive

There's no better way to live - than to listen to your heart
As time will pass and you will see - till death do us part

As for the meaning of life - its found in this simple song
Follow these wise words closely - and you never will go wrong

Follow these words closely, and you never will go wrong
