Lyrics Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson

Love at First Light

It's the crack of noon

And I sit here watching you sleeping

I only wish that I could remember your name

But I know it's written on a matchbook somewhere

So maybe I'll find it, and maybe you'll care

Or maybe you'll fix me with one of those stares

And put up a fight

So when you awake I admit I'm relieved

As you flash me a smile like a diamond

And just for a moment I almost believe

In love at first light

I propose a breakfast of coffee and aspirin

You laugh, suggesting a raw egg or two

But oh was it ever so good being bad

Like a couple of vampires, deliciously mad

Saying this is the best blood that we've ever had

So we drank it all night

And if we untangle the webs that we weave

Then maybe there's room for more laughter

'Cause just for a moment I almost believe

In love at first light

Feeling cold

You put a robe round my shoulders

Smile and pull one of your favourite books from my shelf

Let's open the curtains and let out the dark

And if the sun doesn't melt us and there's still a spark

And we do something human like walk in the park

The spark could ignite

So maybe I'm moonstruck, or maybe naive

But I know there's a God and a Devil

So maybe I'm crazy enough to believe

In love at first light
