Unfailing Love

I look at your photo all the time
It makes me smile to know your mine
Before i heard i was seeing red
So i went to the sky god and pled
He told me to come back with a quater
And he'll tell me my life partner
I pulled a quater out of my pocket
I felt the tingling of a million butterflies in my gut
The god told me your name was Dale
He said our love would never fail
I thanked the sky god for all hes done
Thats the day i found out your the one
I cant wait till we meet
Now my hearts like a drumbeat
i was so happy i ran back home
not realising the truck and my doom
