I knew
when I first
saw you
Was it that glimmer in your eye
or that funny crooked smile?
I knew when I first saw you
that you were the only one for me
Those skimpy dresses,
funny floppy hats
The sound of your sweet voice
caught me off guard
We were sipping champagne,
or was it marmite?
On your neighbor's front lawn,
I never felt like this before
And I knew when I first saw you
Was it that glimmer in your eye
or that crooked, freaky smile?
I knew when I first saw you
That you were the only one for me
On that summer's day,
as far as I could tell
You didn't look so good,
you didn't seem too well
Like you were in a dream
off in some far distant land
I could feel your pain,
I could understand
And I knew when I first saw you
Was it that glimmer in your eye?
Or that funny, crooked smile on you?
When I first saw you,
that dream was the only one for me
I took you to one side,
and held you oh so tight
Your flimsy satin dress
fell so easily from your shoulders
As we kissed in the parting of your lips
I knew I knew when I first saw you
Was it that glimmer in your eye
or that funny crooked smile?
I knew when I first saw you
That you were the only one for me
you
