As I sat in a restaurant eating dinner with my wife the other night

I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation of the couple sitting at the table to our right

You could tell things were uncomfortable as they tried to be at ease

You could tell it was their first date as they both had shaking hands and shaking knees

Oh how I remember that scary night long ago there in my past

When I nervously picked up the girl of my dreams hoping to have a blast

We had the uncomfortable conversation that we thought the other would want to hear

Hoping I said the right things while not chasing her off running in fear

Well we made it through that first date night which ended up changing our life

Because even with that awkward first date that doll in the short skirt ended up becoming my wife

Yes there are few things in life that make you more nervous than when on that first date

But if things go right and you don’t screw up to bad, your date too, may end up just great
