MOMENT I SAW YOU, THE 
(Savage / Mellin)

as recorded by Joni James
with orchestra conducted by David Terry
1955


I fell head over heels in love
The moment I saw you!
My eyes lit up like stars above
The moment I saw you!

With just a glance
I stood in a trance,
You walked through the door.
Right from the start
I knew that my heart
Was mine no more!

So I said to myself,
Said I, "I've found my love at last!
Don't let this moment pass you by,
Just stand and hold him fast!"

My heart caught fire
With burning desire,
Then I really knew
That at last I found my future,
The moment that I saw you!

I fell head over heels in love
The moment I saw you!
My eyes lit up like stars above
The moment I saw you!

My heart caught fire
With burning desire,
Then I really knew
That at last I found my true love,
The moment that I saw you!
