[English]

there I was again tonight

forcing laughter, faking smiles

same old tired, lonely place

walls of insincerity

shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face

all I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you

your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"

'cross the room your silhouette starts to make its way to me

the playful conversation starts counter all your quick remarks

like passing notes in secrecy

and it was enchanting to meet you

all I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you

this night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

the lingering question kept me up

2 AM, who do you love?

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake

and now I'm pacing back and forth

wishing you were at my door I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"

it was enchanting to meet you

all I know is, I was enchanted to meet you

this night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

that this night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

this is me praying that

this was the very first page not where the story line ends

my thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again

these are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

please don't be in love with someone else

please don't have somebody waiting on you

please don't be in love with someone else

please don't have somebody waiting on you

this night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

this night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

please don't be in love with someone else

please don't have somebody waiting on you
