Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There were no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no one else
[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you I'd never be
I'd never be the same
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
Changing you with the tide
And dawn's ribbon of light
Bursts through the dark
Awakening you inside
And I thought it was all untrue
Until there, all at once, I knew
[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you I'd never be
I'd never be the same
[Bridge]
With no beginning and without an end
You are the one for me and it's evident
And your eyes told me so, oh, oh yeah
Your eyes let me know
[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you I'd never be
I'd never be the same
Oh, no
Never be the same
