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 that it was enchanting to meet you
Ab
You're eyes whispered 'have we met?'
Cm
Crossed the room, your sillohuette
Db Ab
Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts
Cm
Counter all your quick remarks
Db Ab
Like passing notes in secrecy
Db Fm Eb
And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
