Story Behind The Song
The song was started back in the 1970's. There were several moments when I met someone and was instantly captivated. The images of those moments are still vivid in my memory. Musically the moment reminded me of two Smokey Robinson songs, so I had that sweet sort of feel in mind.

There is instant recognition of the passion, followed by the realization you need to act soon and very carefully, because you are scared you might make fatal mistakes.

Lyrics
The very first time
I ever laid eyes on you
I said to myself
She could make my dreams come true
I didn't catch your name
But I could not forget your face
I was possessed
Seduced and obsessed
I walked around in a daze
Thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout you
From that moment on
I looked for you everywhere
I tried to be cool
I tried to be debonair
But when we met again
I was filled with such a fright
It was all I could say
Just to ask for a date
You accepted and I nearly died
Love at first sight
Love at first sight
You stepped out of the blue
And captured my heart
Cupid drew back and delivered his dart
I thought about you every day, every night
Deep down inside I knew it was right
Now I know what they mean
By love at first sight
Love at first sight
Is it madness from the gods
Or a fundamental chemistry?
Do you wonder at the odds
Or accept that it was meant to be?
When you feel a spark
And your temperature begins to rise
Love's hit the mark
You're out of the dark
You're in for the biggest surprise
Love at first sight
Love at first sight
