THEME FOR A NEW LOVE (I Saw You Only Once)
(Abrams / Levine)

David Jones - 1965


(Spoken softly to music)

I saw you only once, and I knew
There could be no one for me but you
Yours was the face I wanted to see
Wanted to touch, so tenderly
You smiled and took me by surprise
And you captured my heart with your eyes

The way you walk
The tilt of your head
The sound of your voice
And the things you've siad
For you've so many secrets
So much mystery to everyone else
But you share them with me

You're so much like a kitten
That I hold in my arms
When we laugh and you tease
I'm taken by your charms

You're lovely and charming
And loving and sweet
You captivate everyone you meet
Your laughter's like music
You're always such fun
You're all of my dreams rolled into one

Then there are times when you're moody
Times when you're blue
When the deepest, dark,
Black of night is you
Yet, all of these moods
Love, helped you to see and
Understand what's inside of me

You're so soft to my touch
And our love is so new
How can I tell you how much I love you
You're the raindrops that fall
And refresh everything
For when I am with you
It is eternally spring

I love you
I love you
I love you
