Love At First Sight
Michael Bubl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm making this one special evening
Taking a chance in my life
Hoping you feel the same way as I do tonight
Just try and look into my eyes

Don't be scared of what you might see there
The first time I saw you
I knew love at first sight must be true, so true, oh so true

And now I just have to explain why I feel this way

I feel joy, I feel pain

You're in my heart and it's tearing me apart
'Cause I love you, I love you, I love you!
