The First time I Saw You



Do you believe in love at first site, Or in the powers that be? Do you think our lives are planned for us? That we have a destiny. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. Why you are in my heart. I don't know how to talk to you, Or where to even start. God can take ten years from my life, For just one day to see you. That's really not a lot to give. For a dream to come true. I know you don't understand, And I'm confused too. These feelings run deep in my soul. And I don't know what I can do. I guess I'll just wait, And wonder where you are. Just remember someone cares, And watches you from afar.
