Driving past your house again I feel the same way I did then I get weak, just thinking about you It all began so easily A look from you a glance from me Then our eyes met like thunder & lightning You and I, strangers lost in a moment Eye to eye We were caught unaware of the passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight So rare, and so exciting I only hope this love we found can last I'm not a man who acts this way But lately I can't concentrate And I don't sleep, just dreaming about you I try to reach you on the phone But voices there say you're not home And my heart aches, thinking I've lost you One more time, seeing your face in the moonlight One more chance to be caught unaware Of this passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight It's hard to keep your balance Moving past the point of no return If you need some time To understand your feelings If you need some time away I'll be waiting for you With open arms my love All that night We made love in the moonlight Eye to eye We were so unaware of the passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight So rare, and so exciting I only hope this love we found can last
