Από την πρώτη ματιά
Από το πρώτο φιλί σου
Για μένα έγινες φως
Κι εγώ για πάντα δική σου
Ευτυχισμένη

Κι είμαι μαζί σου
Πολύ ερωτευμένη

Γιατί σ'αυτό το γκρίζο ουρανό
Είσαι η λιακάδα μου εσύ
Κι είμαι μαζί σου πολύ
Ερωτευμένη γιατί
Μαζί σου εγώ ξαναζώ
Τα πάντα απ'την αρχή
Τα πάντα απ'την αρχή

Το είχα δει μοναχά
Στο σινεμά σαν ταινία
Δεν φατνταζόμουν ποτέ
Να ζήσω τέτοια ιστορία
Ευτυχισμένη

Κι είμαι μαζί σου
Πολύ ερωτευμένη
Γιατί σ'αυτό το γκρίζο ουρανό
Είσαι η λιακάδα μου εσύ
Κι είμαι μαζί σου πολύ
Ερωτευμένη γιατί
Μαζί σου εγώ ξαναζώ

Τα πάντα απ'την αρχή
Τα πάντα απ'την αρχή
