C             Am                 F   
Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me  
          Fm           C     G 
Transcending space and time  
C                  Am 
And I was rendered still  
              F               Fm      C   G 
There were no words for me to find at all  
     Dm                    G 
As I stood there beside myself  
  Dm                       G 
I could see you and no one else  

Refrão: 
C 
When I saw you  
Am 
When I saw you  
  F                    Dm      G 
I could not breathe, I feel so deep  
C 
When I saw you  
Am 
When I saw you  
    F             Dm    G       
I’d never be, I’d never be the same

     C             Am          F   
Only once in a lifetime rushes in 
             Fm       C    G 
Changing you with the tide 
C                    Am 
And dawn's ribbon of light 
       F                        Fm     G 
Bursts through the dark Wakening you inside 
      Dm                   G 
And I thought it was all untrue 
       Dm                  G 
Untill there all at once I knew 

Refrão: 
C 
When I saw you  
Am 
When I saw you

I could not breathe, I feel so deep  
C 
When I saw you  
Am 
When I saw you  
     F            Dm    G      Am 
I’d never be, I’d never be the same  

                    C 
With beginning and  
                F 
Without an end  
                        Dm 
You are the one for me  

It’s evident  
    F                G 
And your eyes told me so  
F                 G 
Your eyes let me know...
