First Sight
FIRST SIGHT
He told her he’d fallen for her charms.
He said it was love at first sight,
He really couldn’t explain it,
But being with her just felt right.
He wanted to sweep her off her feet,
To dance the whole night long,
Whilst gently serenading her
With an old Sinatra song.
Her heart was all of a flutter;
A feeling she couldn’t quell.
She surrendered to him completely,
Totally under his spell.
She thought they would be together,
Forever and a day.
One of life’s great romances,
Faithful come what may.
But sadly their love could never be.
It was going to end in tears.
For what he’d omitted to tell her was,
He’d been married for fifteen years.
