There I was again tonight
Cm
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
C# Ab
Same old tired, lonely place
Ab
Walls of insincerity
Cm
Shifting eyes and vacancy
C# Ab
Vanished when I saw your face
C# Fm Eb
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
C# Ab
Starts to make its way to me
Ab
The playful conversation starts
Cm
Counter all your quick remarks
C# Ab
Like passing notes in secrecy
C# Fm Eb
And it was enchanting to meet you
C# Fm Eb
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
