 Met my  lover in the grocery store
 The snow was  christmas eve
 I stole behind her in the  foods
 And I  her on the sleeve
 
 She didnt recognize the  at first
 But  her eyes flew open wide
 She went to  me and she spilled her purse
 And we laughed until we

 And running out of things  say
 She gave a kiss to me  I got out
 And I watched her drive 
 
 Just for a  I was back at school
 And felt that old familiar 
 And as I turned to make my  back home
 The snow turned  rain --
