                                         Saw her beside me
                                    Eyes yearning desperately
                                              I fell instantly

                     Perfume in hand I approached her ever so slowly
                     Not moving too fast proceeding oh, so cautiously.
            
                 After asado, and cinzano, then gelato, we took a stroll
              Parliamo piano, piano, love's flames started then ci vediamo

                 Past heartbreaks revealed, nothing at all was concealed
                    Talking quietly entranced, long, long, into the night
                  Walking hand in hand hearts aglow with what we feel
             Our hearts had found their home, we just knew it was right
          My perception of her love's reflection, was to my heart's delight.


*Asado= Argentine barbeque
*Parliamo piano piano= we spoke slowly (Italian)
*Ci vediamo= see you later, goodbye (Italian)

First date was in Buenos Aires hence Spanish Italian references
Most Portenos residents of Buenos Aires are of Italian/Spanish descent.
