There was someone I'd been seeking
And the moment we got speaking
I could tell at sight it must be you

Such a sweet thrill went right through me
And the kind fates sent love to me
For I knew at sight it must be you

And as soon as I had I met you
I'd forgotten all the rest
On a pedestal I've set you
My ideal to kneel to

Then my heart said it is beating
Journey's end in lovers meeting
And my heart was right, it must be you
