Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
My heart was fancy free
One love meant nothing to me
Until one grand and glorious night
You chanced to come my way
You turned that night into day
It must have been love at first sight
Chorus:
The first time I saw you I knew at a glance
I was meant to be yours, yours alone
As I stood before you my heart seemed to dance
And I prayed you would call me your own
When I look in your eyes
I am thrilled to the skies
And I feel like a king on a throne
The first time I saw you I knew at a glance
I was meant to be yours, yours alone
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
