lyrics

Just now I saw you
The way that I saw you
The first time I laid eyes on you
Your hair in the bar light
Your hand I shook so tight
The first time I laid eyes on you

I wanted you right off
I tried hard to fight off
That yearning deep inside
I tried to pretend
I might just be a friend
But my love I couldn’t hide

And just now I saw you
The way that I saw you
The first time I laid eyes on you
Your body so slender
Your lips sweet and tender
The first time I laid eyes on you

I wanted you right off
I tried hard to fight off
That yearning in my heart
My spirit on fire
That instant desire
To never be apart

And just now I saw you
The way that I saw you
The first time I laid eyes on you
You were smiling so sweetly
And I loved you completely
The first time I laid eyes on you
