Kenny Nolan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I met the girl I′m gonna marry
My one in a million once in a lifetime girl

Though we just met passing on the street
She shyly smiled so candy sweet
That's all it took just one look
And in my mind those wedding bells chimed
And sha, da, dune, dah
I found my dream come true yeah
Sha, da, dune, dah
I′m feeling so brand new yeah

Today I met the girl I'm gonna marry
My one in a million once in a lifetime girl

Heaven put an angel right here on Earth
I'd give my heart and soul all I′m worth
To make her mine I ain′t lyin'
I′m fallin' in love there′s no denyin'
Sha, da, dune, dah
I found my dream come true yeah
Sha, da, dune, dah
I′m feeling so brand new yeah

I never thought in a million years
That I'd fall in love at first sight
Yeah, who'd believe walkin′ down the street
I′d see an angel she turned on my light yeah

Today I met the girl I'm gonna marry
My one in a million once in a lifetime girl

Come tomorrow I know what I′ll do
I'll let her know I′m making plans for two
And if she says, says I do
I'm gonna tell the world about a love so sweet
The angels up in heaven gonna envy me
Sha, da, dune, dah
I found my dream come true yeah




Sha, da, dune, dah
I′m feelin' so brand new yeah.
