When I Saw You 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

[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
Wakening 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
And 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
[Outro]
Oh no
Never be the same
