Fascination
Frank Chackfield And His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was fascination
I know
And it might have ended
Right then, at the start
Just a passing glance
Just a brief romance
And I might have gone
On my way

Empty hearted

It was fascination
I know
Seeing you alone
With the moonlight above
Then I touch your hand
And next moment
I kiss you
Fascination turned to love

It was fascination
I know
Seeing you alone
With the moonlight above
Then I touch your hand
And next moment

I kiss you
Fascination turned - to - love
