1000 Times

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
