I met you once
In a crowded place
And I don't know why
But I noticed your face

You drew me in with your smile
And kept me there with your voice
Before long I was fascinated
You left me no choice

When the time came for you to leave
I was completely caught up in you
And then you left me standing there, wondering
If "love at first sight" could really be true

Sometimes I wonder If I'll ever see you again
Thinking back to the moment we met
One thing's for certain, as long as I live
I will never forget
The way you looked into my eyes
The way I felt that day
The way I fell into your smile
They way you took my breath away
I still remember that day, and how I knew no danger
Just a note from me, the starry eyed girl
To you, the perfect stranger

Nowadays it feels like I'm in a fog
Stumbling around, lost in a haze
Thoughts of you keep coming to me
As I search for a way out of this maze

My friends all think I've lost my mind
And they’re not too far from the truth
Because really, it's my heart that's been stolen
Taken by none other than you

I wish I knew more about you
What you love, what you hate, what you know
Who you consider your family and friends
What causes your highs, what makes you low

Sometimes I wonder If I'll ever see you again
Thinking back to the moment we met
One thing's for certain, as long as I live
I will never forget
The way you looked into my eyes
The way I felt that day
The way I fell into your smile
They way you took my breath away
I still remember that day, and how I knew no danger
Just a note from me, the starry eyed girl
To you, the perfect stranger

I've always believed in guardian angels
A little help from up above
And now I'm beginning to wonder if mine
Has finally found me someone to love

Sometimes I wonder If I'll ever see you again
Thinking back to the moment we met
One thing's for certain, as long as I live
I will never forget
The way you looked into my eyes
The way I felt that day
The way I fell into your smile
They way you took my breath away
I still remember that day, and how I knew no danger
Just a note from me, the starry eyed girl
To you, the perfect stranger

I met you once
In a crowded place...
