"The First Time I Laid Eyes On You" lyrics
Hmm, hmm
Babe
It was a crowded room, noise everywhere
But somehow, time slowed down when you were there
I swear the lights hit different when you smiled
And I ain't believed in fate until that night
I didn't know your name but I knew your soul
Like I'd met you in a past life long ago
You ain't even say a word but I felt it
Something in me whispered you gon' regret this if you let it go, mmm
You were just standing there, sipping something slow
Eyes like home and a heart I didn't know
But I wanted it, all of it right then
And I ain't been the same ever since
The first time I laid eyes on you
The world got quiet, only me and you
One second turned into forever
I knew I'd remember this moment forever
It wasn't just a look, it was a shift
Like my heart skipped something I ain't know I missed
And I didn't even touch you, didn't say a word
But my soul said, "That's him", and it heard
Mmm, yeah
I watched you laugh, watched you move
I tried to play it cool but you had me glued
It wasn't lust, wasn't just attraction
It was that deep, soul-pulling kind of passion
You had the kind of peace I prayed for
The kind of presence I'd wait a decade for
You were poetry in a crowded place
And I was stuck on the first stanza: your face
I ain't know if I'd ever get the chance
But in that moment, I was already a fan
Of the way you stood, the way you'd breathe
You didn't know it but you awakened me
The first time I laid eyes on you (Oh, oh)
The world got quiet, only me and you (World got)
One second turned into forever
I knew I'd remember this moment forever
It wasn't just a look, it was a shift (Oh)
Like my heart skipped something I ain't know I missed
And I didn't even touch you, didn't say a word
But my soul said, "That's him", and it heard
Maybe love don't start with word or touch
Maybe it starts with a stare that says too much
I didn't plan to fall but I damn sure did
In a moment that looked just like this
And even if we never speak again
That moment still lives under my skin
The first time I laid eyes on you
Ah
I knew something real had just begun
Oh
Hmm
Babe
It was a crowded room, noise everywhere
But somehow, time slowed down when you were there
I swear the lights hit different when you smiled
And I ain't believed in fate until that night
I didn't know your name but I knew your soul
Like I'd met you in a past life long ago
You ain't even say a word but I felt it
Something in me whispered you gon' regret this if you let it go, mmm
You were just standing there, sipping something slow
Eyes like home and a heart I didn't know
But I wanted it, all of it right then
And I ain't been the same ever since
The first time I laid eyes on you
The world got quiet, only me and you
One second turned into forever
I knew I'd remember this moment forever
It wasn't just a look, it was a shift
Like my heart skipped something I ain't know I missed
And I didn't even touch you, didn't say a word
But my soul said, "That's him", and it heard
Mmm, yeah
I watched you laugh, watched you move
I tried to play it cool but you had me glued
It wasn't lust, wasn't just attraction
It was that deep, soul-pulling kind of passion
You had the kind of peace I prayed for
The kind of presence I'd wait a decade for
You were poetry in a crowded place
And I was stuck on the first stanza: your face
I ain't know if I'd ever get the chance
But in that moment, I was already a fan
Of the way you stood, the way you'd breathe
