The first time I saw your face was the first I met you girl
You told me you love me, you told me you care
Three months after I saw you there I whispered my name so softly
You should remember the first time we met
I take a look in the mirror
And I couldn't see myself at all
I saw someone else just staring and looking at me
I can't help myself while all those stares are on me
I can't help myself while all those stares are on me
The second time I saw you there I could not believe the scene
I've never been happy, I've always been blue
The first time I saw your face was the first I met you
I've never been happy, I've always been blue
I take a look to the sea and I caught those row boats looking at me
I can't help myself while all those stares are on me
I take a look in the mirror
And I couldn't see myself at all
I saw someone else just staring and looking at me
I can't help myself while all those stares are on me
I can't help myself while all those stares are on me
