This classic was one of the first records I bought, and it was the record that was playing the first time I met and asked my first wife to dance, being young with hormones racing, it was love at first sight, but allas the bliss of first love didn't last through the trials and tribulations of life, but happy to say we are still the very best of friends and this still remains our song , real music for the soul, not like the crap they churn out these days.
I did she had a kid with a pratt, both turned out alcho's, i had to to put him down to be anywhere near good to the mom and child. Que sera sera. I tried to help.
Words and music so brilliant and so appropriate from my school days as indeed the girl turned out to be beautiful, lucky guy who got her, I got my own homely girl.
my daughter was a homely girl all through school a lonely fragile slip of a girl but now i have a beautiful swan who laughs smiles and is truly beautiful god bless the chilites
i've had several "homely girls" in my lifetime....had i known...i'd have kept one for my very own, instead of worrying about looks...and that's the honest to god truth..
Well, she wasn't a "homely" girl, but she was a "good" girl and I let her get by. 30 years later I got a chance again. She turned out to be SOOOO fine... and really is "good." LOL! What was the lesson learned?...1. don't be a fool and make the same mistake twice, and 2. hurry up and make up for lost time. Yes, there really is a God and I thank him!
Right now, somebody is thinking about a girl back in school they wouldn't have given a second look to back then...until they saw her recently, and realize they made a huge mistake
This is such a beautiful message. Be yourself people. <3

One of the songs that helped the transformation from the 60's to the 70's the words were very poignant.
