Lyrics
I’ll never be the same
And here’s the reason why
I had a glimpse, I had a glimpse
Of love as it passed by
And all the things they say
Those lovely things are true
I had a glimpse, I had a glimpse
Too late, too late I knew
If I find love again
Some far off day
I’ll never stop to doubt
And lose my way
I’ll just say “Here I am”
“How do you do, hello
I had a glimpse, I had a glimpse
Of you once long ago”
A glimpse of love can change the whole world so
