When I Saw You

Romantic Rock Ballad / Love at First Sight

The Story

Do you remember that moment? The door flies open, the noise fades – and suddenly there is only one face in the room.

“When I Saw You” is about that lightning strike: love at first sight that hits like thunder. One look, and the lonely highways, the empty towns, the endless waiting are gone. The world stops turning, and your feet leave the ground.

For everyone who knows that sometimes one look is all it takes.

Lyrics

Another lonely highway
Another empty town
I was walkin' through the shadows, keepin' my head down
Just a face inside the crowd, lost in the noise and smoke
Waitin' for a sign, waitin' for a hope

Then the door flew open wide
And the thunder rolled inside
I looked up and caught your stare
Suddenly nothing else was there

When I saw you!
The world stopped turning round
When I saw you!
My feet left the solid ground
Like a lightning strike in the dead of night
You set my frozen heart alight
Yeah, time stood still
When I saw you

Don't need to know your name,
Don't need to know your past
I just know this burning feeling is built to last
The colors faded out, turning into black and white
You were the only thing shining in the light

Yeah, the door flew open wide
Now there's nowhere left to hide
I'm a prisoner of your gaze
Lost inside this purple haze!

I've been running all my life
Looking for a place to land
Now I'm falling like a stone
Reaching for your hand
Yeaaah!

When I saw you!
The world stopped turning round
When I saw you!
My feet left the solid ground
Like a lightning strike in the dead of night
You set my frozen heart alight
Yeah, time stood still

Just one look
That's all it took
When I saw you
