She knew she caught my eye
And that was all it took
Ain't it strange how forever changed
With just one look

The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to my self
Oh, Oh

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She can charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

Once i held her close
I knew just where i stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good

Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can't feel the power of
The greatest love you've known

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She can charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon
