she had red hair and freckles to match
met her in the high school gym
it was her eyes I prayed I could catch
with her I knew my heart could mend

she was my high school love
but I was too shy to even ask
I daydreamed and prayed to God above
but she just moved too fast
my high school love was one question away

football practice was rough and hard
we all looked forward to friday night
going the distant yard by yard
if we won it meant I just might
get my red haired maiden if I could just drop my guard

she was my high school love
but I was too shy to even ask
I daydreamed and prayed to God above
but she just moved too fast
my high school love was one question away

she sat two rows ahead of me
on that night we all graduated
in some ways it just was not to be
it all came down to me being infatuated
with a red haired dream

she was my high school love
but I was too shy to even ask
I daydreamed and prayed to God above
but she just moved too fast
my high school love was one question away
