"At First Sight"
:: l y r i c s ::
Lived my life in narrow ways
Wonder Bread and mayonnaise
Worked a job from nine to five
I never knew that I was alive

Year by year in russet hues
Work until the evening news
Steady stream of dingy days
Lived my life in narrow ways

I don't believe
In Fairy Tales
I don't believe
In Holy Grails
I don't believe
In shining knight
But I believe in love
At first sight

One chill day in Rosemont Square
I glanced left and you were there
I tripped and sprawled, no grace at all
What a time to take a fall

You rushed over, all concerned
Embarrassment throughout me burned
Could a handsome stranger care
One chill day in Rosemont Square

I don't believe
In Fairy Tales
I don't believe
In Holy Grails
I don't believe
In shining knight
But I believe in love
At first sight

Loneliness was cast away
Your hand in mine, a passion play
Your cheeks were frosted cherry red
Hair like fresh-baked gingerbread

Blue eyes held mine; I tasted sky
Knew that I had found my guy
A miracle on that chill day
Loneliness was cast away


I don't believe
In Fairy Tales
I don't believe
In Holy Grails
I don't believe
In shining knight
But I believe in love
At first sight

I don't believe
In Fairy Tales
I don't believe
In Holy Grails
I don't believe
In shining knight
But I believe in love
At first sight
