love at first sight
Dana Dane Lyrics

Love at first site
The idea of falling in love at first sight has caught the attention of the singer, and he wonders whether it is real and lasting or only a momentary attraction.

Is is forever or fly by night?
The singer is questioning whether love at first sight will last, or if it is just a fleeting attraction that will disappear quickly.

Whose to say it's wrong or right
The singer believes that there is no clear answer as to whether love at first sight is right or wrong, leaving it open to interpretation.

Hello? This is Dana who's speaking?
The artist is answering a phone call, stating his name to the person on the other end of the line.

Oh Jackie! How you doing?
The artist recognizes the person on the other end of the line as Jackie, asks how she is doing, and engages in friendly conversation.

Been a long time hasn't it?
The singer acknowledges that it has been a while since he has spoken with Jackie.

Nah there be none of that babe / My plane leaves in about an hour / I don't think so my show starts / when I get back / But um rum thanks for calling anyway / It's been nice knowing you / Well it was nice knowing you / You take care yourself / Oh and don't give out my number / Thanks
The singer politely declines an invitation from Jackie, as he is about to leave on a plane and has a show to perform upon his return. He thanks her for calling, but makes it clear that they will not be seeing each other again.

Now I can still remember when we first met / It was one day that I will neva forget / 6: 00 the approximate hour / Not really cloudy expecting sunshowers / I was taking a stroll halfway across town / Then like expected the rain came down
The artist reminisces about the moment he met Jackie, describing the time and weather, as well as the unexpected rain that came down during his stroll across town.

I picked up my pace, for a date I raced / Ran to a soft object in my hace / On the ground we faced hot silk and lace / It was my eye her body I slowly cased / The pouring rain had drenched her dress / But I loved the way the cloth had clinged and caressed
The artist hurried to meet Jackie, and upon reaching her, he was taken by her appearance and the way her clothes were clinging to her body after getting drenched in the rain.

"Excuse me!" that was my first response / Took her up on her feet and gave her my trenchcoat / Somehow it happened while I covered her back / When her eyes and mine first made contact / The looks we gave changed the way we were / Now it was us and not me and her
The artist offered Jackie his trenchcoat, and as they made eye contact, he felt a connection that changed the dynamic between them, making it about both of them instead of just himself and her.

Well you wouldn't understand / But maybe you might / I guess you can call it Love At First sight
The singer acknowledges that not everyone will understand what he experienced with Jackie, but he considers it to be love at first sight.

Now even the rain pour was easy to ignore / Only this young lady is what I saw / She was a sweet female tender not frail / Other word beautiful no need for details
Despite the pouring rain, the artist only had eyes for Jackie, describing her as a sweet, beautiful woman.

I introduced myself "Hi my name is Dane / Can I get you out of this pourin rain?" / "Sure" she said "By the way i'm Jackie" / Staring at me as I hailed down the taxi
The singer introduced himself to Jackie and offered to get her out of the rain. She accepted, revealing her name and looking on as he hailed a taxi.

We jumped in the cab and slowly moved off / She was holdin my hand and it felt so soft / Now on my ear she mentally chewed / And I knew it was more than just gratitude
The singer and Jackie rode together in the taxi, holding hands as she talked to him, indicating that there was something more than gratitude at play.

So I took it upon myself to take her to my house / I guess she didnt mind because her clothes were damp / Pay the cabbies fee, took out my house keys / Opened up the door and said "enter please"
The singer took Jackie back to his house, and she didn't seem to mind despite her clothes being damp. He paid the taxi fare, unlocked his door, and welcomed her inside.

Took her to the bathroom to hang the clothes on the line / And gave her one of my shirts by Kalvin Klien / Went to my bedroom and took off my wet wardrobe / I freshened up a bit and put on my silk robe
The artist took Jackie to the bathroom to hang her wet clothes, and he gave her one of his shirts to wear. He then went to his bedroom to change his own clothes and freshen up.

We met in the front near the roaring flame / Where we sat quietly sipping on champaigne / Her eyes said things beyond the use of words / And the crackling flame was all I heard
The artist and Jackie sat together in front of a fireplace, not speaking much as they enjoyed champagne. The artist could tell there was something deeper going on between them just by looking into her eyes.

It had felt as though we were on our honeymoon / As we moved from the front into the bedroom / We made passionate love the night we met / And by the time we fell asleep there was no regrets
The singer and Jackie made love on the night they met, and it was a passionate, romantic experience that left them both content and with no regrets, feeling as though they were on a honeymoon.

I Woke up the next morning she was not there / Maybe she fixing breakfast or doin her hair / I got out of my bed threw on me housecoat / When I noticed on the mirror she left a note
The singer woke up to find that Jackie was not in bed with him, and he assumed she was either fixing breakfast or getting ready. Upon getting up, he saw that she had left a note on the mirror for him.

Saying "Sorry Dane I could not stay. / Please meet me 1: 00 where we met yesterday"
Jackie left a note apologizing for leaving and asking the artist to meet her again at the same location they met the day before.

Well I had time 2 hours and a half / So I layed out my clothes and took a bath / I ate a good breakfast had time to spare / So then I got dressed and I dallied over there
The artist had time to spare before meeting with Jackie, so he took a bath, ate breakfast, and slowly got dressed before heading to the location where they were supposed to meet.

I reached my destination not a cloud in sight / It was cool, kind of windy and the sun was bright / Now I was on time but she didn't show / And that was about 20 minutes ago
The artist arrived at the location on time and saw that the weather was nice, but Jackie was not there yet.

I stayed a little longer bout a half an hour / Felt a raindrop maybe it's a sunshower / I soon to see that my thoughts were wrong / Because the raindrop became an all out storm
The singer waited for about half an hour, hoping that Jackie would show up. However, it started raining heavily instead of being a sunshower, and he realized that she was not coming.

And there I was standing in the rain / And the lady that I looked for never came / I was hurt and it showed on my face / As I tracked in the rain back to my place
The artist stood in the heavy rain, feeling disappointed that Jackie did not show up, and the hurt he felt was evident on his face as he walked back home in the rain.

Slowly I walked hopin to bump into her / Me be in love? Nah I barely knew her / I got home angry and depressed / And my Bally shoes were a total mess
The singer walked slowly, wishing that he would run into Jackie. He questions whether what he felt for her was love, as he barely knew her, but he got home feeling angry and upset, his shoes a total mess from walking in the rain.

But that was the last thing on my mind / As I sat on the couch staring into time / Well I had her numba and she had mine / But if she really wanted me / She woulda dropped me a line
The singer sits on the couch, lost in thoughts about Jackie. He realizes that they have each other's phone numbers, but if she really wanted to see him, she would have called.

Day after day the weeks went by / She didn't call even to say hi / I woulda called her first but I got my pride / And I really don't care to myself I lied
Days and weeks go by and Jackie never calls, not even to say hi. The singer admits he could have called her, but his pride gets in the way and he lies to himself, saying that he doesn't care.

And there was no reason for me to be sad / Just remember that good time that we had / Cuz I learned a little something that you should know / To keep somethings you got to let them go
The artist tries to find a reason to not be sad about the situation and encourages the listener to remember the good time he had with Jackie. He shares a lesson he learned - sometimes you have to let go of things to keep them.

You take care your self
The artist ends by wishing the listener well.
