My Heart Skipped A Beat

When I first saw your face my heart skipped a beat,
and when you smiled I just couldn’t speak.
You did something to me that I still can't explain
you’re fixed on my mind and locked in my brain.

Whenever you came near me I trembled inside
and found my nervousness impossible to hide.
You made me float on air and I hovered along,
birds sang in my head, oh, what sweet song.

I lived my dream when you first spoke to me,
you immediately set my inhibitions free.
I chatted away making no real sense
you must’ve thought me stupid and dense.

How I got courage to ask you out for a drink
is a mystery to me and it still makes me think,
and when you agreed, but I still asked again
I realised my mistake, but blushed just the same.

But now after four years I adore you even more
you are the key that unlocks my life’s door.
Our baby is the flower that we gave to each other
and she reminds me so much of her loving mother.
