The Reason I Knew Love At First Sight

For there was the place
Under an angelic moon sky
There was the face
Of love and at me it smiled

The evening did chill
The wind from the north
But eyes that burned life filled me with warmth

A smile for which to live, a smile for which to die.

For there was the moment
When a boy changed into a man
There was this electricity 
That fizzed at the touch of her hand

There was the love
That I knew was my life
Beauty beyond reason
My heart which was screaming

There was the reason
I knew love when she smiled
There was the reason
I knew love at first sight

To me she’s eternal
Everything wrong somehow became right

She is my reason
She is my life
She is the meaning
She is my wife.
