fell madly in love at first sight

the angels placed you in my arms.
i looked down on your small delicate charms,
and fell madly in love at first sight.
under a spell i tumbled,
as though cupids arrow had pierced my empty heart,
rising victoriously with your named part.
i gasped and grasped for this hostage hearts plight.
for you see,i fell madly in love at first sight.

after that moment we were inseparable.
together we were,day and night.
you needed me,and i most certainly needed you.
like a fierce lioness,i guarded you too.
feeling your every discomfort,
as though someone had salted the wound of cupids arrow,
gasping and grasping my hostage hearts plight.
because there was no doubt,i had fallen madly in love at first sight.

as you grew through thick and thin.
i saw that you were not as fragile within.
and i felt a sigh of relief escape,
but not so of my heart,
with every minute,every day,every year
our bond grew more loyal,and with every tear
waiting for what was to come what might.
i had fallen madly in love at first sight.

all that i was,i placed at your feet.
hoping to give you the benefit of my successes and my defeats.
dreaming great dreams for you and me.
stumbling and falling from what i wanted you to see.
i had to concede to my humanity,
and sometimes i was ashamed for you to see the real me.
the truth i could not hide or fight,
because i had fallen madly in love at first sight.

we traveled the low road and then we came to the high,
together we remained, together in flight.
i started to take for granted that we would always be together,
after all we were the same flesh,the same bone,birds of a feather,
and we had come to understand through hindsight.
but you stretched your wings preparing for flight,
how could that be,how could you see,
that i had fallen madly in love at first sight.

now the moment of truth stood looking me in the eye.
i wanted to fight and i didn't want you to fly.
for my heart was yours from the moment we met.
my plan was not this,and my jaw was set.
then the angel came down with a message from me,
letting go,was the only love that the future would see.
i wept large tears-of sorrow and joy,
and said good bye to my daughters and The Boy.
for once and for all i had fallen madly in love with you at first sight.
