Lyrics
- I used to feel love wasn’t real
Until someone came along
Then I found out beyond a doubt
My first impression was wrong
I caught by chance one fleeting glance
From eyes with lovelight aglow
I can’t forget, it lingers yet
Always whereever I go
Chorus
I know that I’m in love
For all I’m thinking of
Is someone who once smiled at me
Why even when I dream
The same lips always seem
Beguiling and smiling so sweetly
The same two eyes divine
That once smiled into mine
Keep shining from the stars above
My joy will be complete
When once again we meet
Oh I know that I’m in love
- One little smile gone in a while
Gave you a hope that is new
So may a vow if taken now
Bring soul salvation to you
Love is the light that leads you right
When you are drifting about
Follow its ray each night and day
You will be saved never doubt
