I probably never told you
That you were the first girl
To whom I ever gave a valentine

Though I now have a lover
I'm giving you another
In fond remembrance of that distant time

You made me feel exposed
And I was oh, so shy
But every night I saw you
When I closed my eyes

You were the woman of my dreams
And crazy as it seems
I remember it like it was yesterday

Through all the years I met
So many girls and yet
You'll always be the woman of my dreams

Like the thunder and the lightning
I sometimes found you frightening
And had to overcome the urge to leave

But I finally got beyond it
To look past your bad habits
And see the tender woman underneath

I've often heard it said
That age is just a number
But the difference in our years
Never mattered when I'd slumber

You were the woman of my dreams
And crazy as it seems
I remember it like it was yesterday

Through all the years I met
So many girls and yet
You'll always be the woman of my dreams

Inside I had a feeling
That you could be the one
I asked for reasons why not
And the answer came back "nun"

An interesting feature
Of crushing on your teacher
Is how your feelings run to the extremes

And Sister Mary Agnes
You were my first so, I guess
You'll always be the woman of my dreams
