You lit a raging fire right from the start;

When first I saw you in the setting sun,

A blazing brightness deep within my heart.

 

Sparkling eyes that did instantly impart

Such kindred spirit with a sense of fun;

You lit a raging fire right from the start.

 

And when you smiled, a classic work of art

Drew my response like none before had done;

A blazing brightness deep within my heart.

 

You spoke then, making all my thoughts depart,

And tongue-tied, as my swirling senses spun,

You lit a raging fire right from the start.

 

At last, returning wits took stronger part;

When conversation flowed, soon had begun

A blazing brightness deep within my heart.

 

My burning joy when you became sweetheart;

Dumbfounded, and looking right back to when

You lit a raging fire right from the start,

A blazing brightness deep within my heart.
