Lyrics
That Was the Night
Written By
Ken Love
She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes.
When I saw her walking by I didn't think a chance with her could ever be.
Well later that night we met again and I knew something special was about to begin.
I could see it in her eyes when she looked at me.
(Chorus)
That was the night that I fell in love for the very FIRST time.
That was the night that I had her hand and thought she was mine.
But I never thought I find someone like her for me.
That was the night that I fell in love you see.
Well ten years have passed since we first held hands.
And now I love her just as much I did then.
She's everything I ever hoped that she'd ever be.
I pledged my love to her and it?s here to stay.
The feeling grows stronger with each passing day.
I'm gonna love that girl till the end of eternity.
(Chorus)
That was the night that I fell in love for the very LAST time.
That was the night that I had her hand and thought she was mine.
But I never thought I find someone like her for me.
That was the night that I fell in love you see.
I?m gonna love that girl till the end of eternity.
That was the night that I fell in love you see.
That was the night that I fell in love you see.
