I saw a distance flash of light,
I heard a drumming in the night,
A throbbing echoed by my heart,
That gave my trembling mind a start.
I felt a crimson flame spark bright,
I saw a distance flash of light,
Before me stood a hero bold,
Warming passions I thought were cold.
I could not speak a single word,
No whispered murmur could be heard,
I saw a distance flash of light,
My heart stopped beating out of fright.
I saw my dreams to ashes turn,
And I could feel my stomach churn,
Was this really love at first sight?
I saw a distance flash of light.
