she lived next door on 7th avenue but he never dared to ask her name and they watched each other as the weeks and months passed by but they never talked it was a crying shame i think he's seen her face a 1000 times before he knew she was the one when she came walking through the door but that was only in his dreams that was only in his dreams and now he stands there with his heart in his hand i hope she says yes i hope she understands i hope she understands i hope she understands and now they're walking, walking and holding hands and now they're talking, talking marriage plans it wasn't long after they met the day was set in spring and now her mother's crying hear the wedding bells ring i think he's seen her face a 1000 times before beside the alter as they kneel on the floor but that was only in his dreams that was only in his dreams she stands there glowing in her gown of flowing white they're pronounced man and wife now he may kiss the bride now he may kiss the bride now he may kiss the bride they left that night with tin cans clanging from behind her long hair blowing as they waved goodbye to tell you the truth i haven't seen him since then but he calls me every month or so to tell me how it's been i think he's seen her face a 1000 times before their love was so innocent their love was so pure but that was only in his dreams that was only in his dreams and now he hasn't been so happy since the day that he was born because he'll see her face a 1000 times or more at least a 1000 times or more at least a 1000 times or more
