I've got stars in my eye, and a catch in my throat 
While my heart beats to beat the band 
To be truthful with you, this thrill isn't new 
But somehow it's different, it's grand 

I've had this feeling before
But never like this
Love had me reeling before
But never like this

Who ever dreamed this could happen
To someone supposed to be smart
I really must have been nappin'
To let you walk off with my heart

My dreams, and I've had quite a few
Were never like this
This is too good to be true
But so was that kiss

I know by the way my heart leaps
That this time I'm playing for keeps
I've had this feeling before, Darling
But never like this
