At First Glance
At first glance I thought I had a chance
thought what we had was true romance
until you gave me the old song and dance
but at least you gave me notice in advance
I was mesmerized by your flair and style
my head was in a whirlwind for a little while
up on cloud nine is where I once landed
until you brought me down and left me empty handed
My feet didn't touch the ground whenever you were around
I'd look deep into your eyes but couldn't make a sound
no words could express the love that I thought I had found
when the whole time I never knew that I was being clowned
At first glance it looked so much different to me
but at last now my eyes are open and have come to see
and I'm so thankful to you for setting me free
because you and I were never really meant to be.
