Love at First Sight; Love at Last Sight

I felt lost and alone in a crowded bar room

Then you walked in

The noise silenced, my heart beating, my breath short

You turned, scanning the room like you are looking for someone

But your eyes locked on mine, and I knew

As you walked toward me; the room disappeared

You stood over me, smiled and we knew

Your friends called you over, and you wandered away

I turned in my chair not believing my heart

Who is he; what just happened?

As I glance in your direction, you rose and walked out onto the balcony

I followed, hoping that I hadn’t been wrong and you really felt it too

As I walked through the door, you turned, and I knew

You felt it, you know it – it’s true

Love at first sight

Forty-five years later, when I look in your eyes

I feel it, you feel it – forever

I woke up in darkness with no light to be seen

My heart clearly broken, my soul empty

Emotions run wild, panic close to the top

I hear a sigh, feel a presence

As I slowly turn, I sense – you

Light slowly creeps in, I recognize your eyes

They know me, they see me

Your smile warms me and as my panic subsides

I begin to feel – you

Tears spill down my face, I thought you were gone forever

This can’t be true, this can’t be real

Your voice speaks my name, my lips whisper yours

My soul reaches out and finds – you

I walk slowly forward, needing to be close

I look up in your eyes and feel safe, home, forever

Love me, be one with me, stay

My hand reaches out to touch you, but this can never be

Not for me, not for – you

I knew what had happened, I held you as you left

My mind say “impossible” but here you are

My eyes see you, I heard you speak my name

Our love is eternal, forever is real

I sigh, I understand – my soul reaches out and touches – you

Love at last sight
