When I Saw You Songtext
von Billy Ocean

Yeah, yesterday I was sad and lonely
Now, now today I feel so happy
′Cause girl, it's you that I′m giving my attention
To, ooh
And all I know, since I met you at the party
Because of you, I don't feel so lonely
You're the one that I love to have around me
You came along and set me free

When I saw you dancing in the corner
Ooh, it really blew my mind
(When I saw you) there′s no doubt about it
From then on, there was no other
With whom I wanted
To spend my time (when I saw you) away

You lift me up (up), you turn me on (turnin′ me on)
You made me strong when hope was gone
You are the sun (sun), you are the light (you are the light)
Girl, you brighten up my darkest night


It was like a dream come true (dream come true)
When I saw you (when I saw you)
Made me feel so brand new
When I saw you (when I saw you)

There's so much we can do together
We got something that could last forever
No one else ever done this much to me
(Done this much to me)
Oh, you′re like a song that I wanna keep on singin'
Good words of love that′s never ending
In my life, I will never make you sorry
'Cause what we got is meant to be

When I saw you dancing in the corner
Ooh, it really blew my mind
(When I saw you)
There′s no doubt about it
From then on there was no other
With whom I want to spend my time

(When I saw you) oh, wait
You lift me up (up), you turn me on (turnin' me on)
You made me strong when hope was gone
You are the sun (sun), you are the light (you are the light)
Girl, you brighten up my darkest night


It was like a dream come true (dream come true)
When I saw you (when I saw you)
Made me feel so brand new
When I saw you (when I saw you)

Oh, baby, you're the reason why
I build my hopes so high
Arms are open wide
Let′s give love a try

(Hey) come on
When I saw you (dancin′)
(Hey) come on, (hey)

When I saw you dancin' in the corner
Ooh, it clearly blew my mind
(When I saw you) there′s no doubt about it
From then on, there was no other
With whom I wanna spend my time
(When I saw you) oh, baby

You lift me up (up), you turn me on (turnin' me on)
You made me strong when hope was gone
You are the sun (sun), you are the light (you are the light)
Girl, you brighten up my darkest night

It was like a dream come true (dream come true)
When I saw you (when I saw you)
Made me feel so brand new
When I saw you (when I saw you)

It was like a dream come true (dreaming come true)
When I saw you (when I saw you)
You made me feel so brand new
