I Dmsaw her for the first time and I was lGonely for the last time
I Fsaw her Amfor the first Dmtime and now I Gknow I gotta make her mine
[Verse 2]
CWhen she walked in, my head did sEpin
My Amjaw just hit the ground
CStopped in my tracks like a heart attaEck

AmI would see her again
CUp in the clouds and deep in the cErowds
  Am'Til the very end
'Cause I Cnever seen a face shine light like Ethat
And I Amnever felt time stand still
And I Cdidn't know a man could fall so Ehard
