An accurate description of my first meeting with my wife Wendy. A summer evening in Dorset, burned into my memory forever. 35 years later and I finally write the song...How did I get so lucky?

lyrics

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

LIKE A BULLET WITH THE SPEED OF SOUND SHE TORE MY SOUL APART
SHE KILLED ME WITH A FLEETING GLANCE THAT SHOT INTO MY HEART
I SAW HER GLIDE ACROSS THAT SUMMER LANE SO COOL SO FULL OF GRACE
AND THE PIECES OF MY BROKEN LIFE CAME TUMBLING INTO PLACE

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, FELT SO RIGHT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT ON A SUMMER NIGHT

SHE WALKED INTO THE LITTLE BAR SHE OWNED IT LIKE A QUEEN
I JUST WATCHED HER FROM AFAR LIKE A LOVELORN, LONELY TEEN
THE ROOM WAS SPINNING ROUND HER AND SHE TURNED TO LOOK MY WAY
I KNEW THAT I HAD FOUND HER, COULDN’T FIND A THING TO SAY

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, OOH FELT SO RIGHT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT ON THAT SUMMER NIGHT

SOLO

THEN SHE SAT DOWN RIGHT BESIDE ME AND PULLED MY HEART OUT ON MY SLEEVE
A GLASS OF WINE SHES IN MY MIND, BUT THEN I HAD TO LEAVE
SHE WOULDN’T GIVE HER NUMBER, SO I PRESSED HER FOR HER NAME
IF SHE SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS, I’D BE A MOTH THAT BURNED ON HER FLAME

I MADE HER TAKE MY CARD I NEVER THOUGHT SHE’D MAKE THE CALL
I LIVED A LONELY SUMMER THEN SHE RANG ME IN THE FALL
NOW SO MANY YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE WITH LAUGHTER AND WITH SORROW
I WOULDN’T CHANGE A SECOND WITH HER FOR A MILLION OTHER TOMORROWS

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, FELT SO RIGHT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT ON THAT SUMMER NIGHT

about

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
