My hair stood on end And I strongly felt my pride bend I was afraid you could hear As my poor heart beat frantically with fear That I would not please you That you would overlook me On that first day I saw you.
Walking in springy steps like a fairy And wearing a smile that melt my heart Met in a handshake, Felt the tender touch I still couldn’t out make; “Aren’t you hugging me?” Ouch! On that first day I saw you.
Hoped that the handshake Will go above the elbow Felt my mansion of desires going loose My submarine of hopes going afloat My dove of love on the shove On that first day I saw you my love.
