At a high-school cotillion,
Favors pink, favors blue,
There I met the one girl in a million,
And the girl was you.
Sweet, you were a shy love,
But you were my love.
And that high-school cotillion
Made me know I knew.
We were so young,
The time was an evening in May.
You wore your pale blue organdy, I felt so gay.
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight,
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from over the way.
We were so young the heavens were smiling above.
I asked to keep your handkercheif, you kept my glove.
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight,
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from and we were in love.
We were so young
And it was time was an evening in May.
You wore your pale blue organdy, I felt so gay.
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight,
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from over the way.
We were so young the heavens were smiling above.
I asked to keep your handkercheif, you kept my glove.
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight,
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from and we were in love.
