Lyrics
Seconds went backward
My mind, a disaster.
Pacing then waiting,
Nerves then debating.
What do I wear?
How’s my hair?
I knew she was hot,
Damn, I need a shot.
Maybe another?
To stop the stutter?
No, You don’t want to stumble.
Let's get ready to rumble.
So I step outside,
Get into my stride.
Then around the corner—
That moment I saw her.
Long and lean,
A beauty queen.
Her eyes opened wide
To that bright world inside.
At first sight!
My heart felt it,
My miiiiind wouldn't get it.
It was more than a gaze,
And it proved to amaze.
Yeah, it felt groovy,
But it wasn’t like movies.
I felt a twinge,
I know it sounds cringe.
At first sight,
On our first niiiiight.
Wiped off that drool,
But still played it cool-
Puffed out my chest,
Attempted my best-
I tried to impress,
Chose that hipster Add dress-
I opened her door,
Heart started to soar-
Pulled out her chair,
Did I know right there?
I ordered that drink.
And drank with a wink-
We started talking,
My mind unlocking-
Her heart so pure—
Was she my cure?.
Her mind so appealing-
What was this feeling?.
At first sight!
My heart felt it,
My miiiind wouldn't get it.
It was more than a gaze,
And it proved to amaze.
Yeah, it felt groovy,
But it wasn’t like movies.
I felt a twinge,
I know it sounds cringe.
At first sight!
On our first niiiight.
I wanted some more,
So we walked out the door.
Next bar needed cash,
So I thought in a flash.
Bought a lollipop ring,
To get me some green.
Not done with intent,
Did I know what it meant?
Walked to silhouette,
Saw her sexy vignette.
Played darts, had more beers,
And more beauty appears-
Learning her story,
Seeing her glory.
We talked all night,
But here came the plight.
The lights started to blink.
Then the bartender shrieks.
[Spoken line – different gruff male voice- yelling loudly bar ambience]
Y’ALL FINISH YOUR DRINKS!
[back to singing]
Man that stiiiiinks!!!!
At first sight!
My heart felt it,
My miiiiind wouldn't get it.
It was more than a gaze,
And it proved to amaze.
Yeah, it felt groovy,
But it wasn’t like movies.
I felt a twinge,
I know it sounds cringe-
At first sight!
On our first niiiiight.
Saw our life in the stars.
As we walked to her car-
I mean taxi- Wink.
And that’s when I think.
What should I do,
To get date number two?.
Should I give her a kiss,
On those beautiful lips?
Tonight felt special,
Love had potential-
She was a dream.
My Beauty Queen-
Then came that moment,
And I chose devotion.
Gave An awkward embrace,
Then she drove away.
Will love happen next?
Or just deep regret?
Ohhhhh yea.
At first siiiight.
on our very first niiiiightt.
All these years later,
Loving that stranger.
We lay together,
Our life so much better.
Oh my sweet Heather.
The storms we weathered.
And now, Our little boys-
Add a whole world of joy-
Yea Ezra and Ari,
Make life such a party.
At first sight!
On our first night.
Yeah, somehow I knew—
I would…
marry yooouuu—
…you-hoooooooooooo.
