Lyrics
A smoky room, a sudden glance
One of those parties and quite by chance
While ev’rybody else was making small talk
We found romance
Chorus
Only a moment ago
You suddenly smiled and whispered “hello”
With no introduction beforehand
I felt my hand melt into your hand
Only a moment ago
My bumpity heart was letting me know
That this was no commonplace story
But romance in all of its glory
Meeting you was a happy accident
Out of nowhere you came
One kiss and I was aflame
By the way, what’s your name?
Only a moment ago
You might have gone by and I’d never know
It’s hard to believe I was lonely
Only a moment ago
Performance
