Lyrics
I can see Stephanie, just a school girl was she
Ponytail blowing free, mischievous smile
I can hear Stephanie saying, “Dear, wait for me”
And she swore it would be only a while
I looked away one moment
And in that fateful moment
She had become a woman, warm and divine
Now she has loves, other loves
But I hope and I pray
I may yet see the day Stephanie’s mine
