Oh, the first flush of youth

was upon you when

our eyes first met

and I knew that to you

and into your life

I had to get

Oh, I felt light-headed

at the touch of this

stranger's hand

an assault my defences

systematically

failed to withstand

'Cause you came at a time

when the pursuit

of one true love

in which to fall

was the be all and end all

Love is only a feeling

when I'm in your arms

I start believing

but love is only a feeling

anyway

Oh, the state of elation

that this unison of

hearts achieved

I had seen, I had touched

I had tasted and

I truly believed

That the light of my life

would tear a hole

right through each cloud

that scudded by

just to beam on you and I

Love is only a feeling

when I'm in your arms

I start believing

but love is only a feeling

anyway, anyway

Love is only a feeling

and we've gotta stop

ourselves believing

'cause love is only a feeling

anyway
