At first sight

Eighteen years ago
Love was not a sin
Now I still don't know
Things that might have been
If I told you so
If I could begin
But only instead of words
Was my useless grin

On the moment that I saw you
Love was in the air
In your eyes behind the glasses
And in your raven hair
You're my "opium of the masses"
Chasing me everywhere
Any day without your smile
Was just a long nightmare

Was I too short for you?
Or maybe way too thin?
In my dreams I fought the world
For the heart I'd hoped to win
For a look into your eyes
For a kiss on your lovely skin
Years have passed and I'm still thinking
Of all what could have been

I'd fight the world for you
And I know I'll win the fight
My reward would be a smile
That makes my life so bright
What might have been I'll know
Now it must be, not just might

Love was not a sin, at first sight
