You were there
I saw you and my heart stopped beating
You were there
And in that first enchanted meeting
Life changed its tune
The stars, the moon came near to me
Dreams that I dreamed 
Like magic seemed to be clear to me, dear to me
You were there
Your eyes looked into mine and faltered
Everywhere
The colour of the whole world altered
False came true
My universe tumbling too
The earth became heaven for you were there
