At First Glance

The first time I saw you I knew you’d be the one I could tell you were the prize And that I had won Your smile was contagious Your smile made me weak This was definitely love at first sight At its ultimate peak I know this sounds silly I know it’s surreal But this was your doing It’s how you made me feel But then I saw you for you An immature little boy My perfect vision of you Did you surely destroy But I’ll keep in my heart That very first glance It will forever hurt me That we didn't have a chance
