The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met

And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get

I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand

An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand



'Cos you came at a time

When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall

Was the be all and end all



Love is only a feeling

(Drifting away)

When I'm in your arms I start believing

(It's here to stay)

But love is only a feeling

Anyway



The state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved

I had seen, I had touched, I had tasted and I truly believed



That the light of my life

Would tear a hole right through each cloud that scudded by

Just to beam on you and I



Love is only a feeling

(Drifting away)

When I'm in your arms I start believing

(It's here to stay)

But love is only a feeling

Anyway, anyway



Love is only a feeling

(Drifting away)

And we've got to stop ourselves believing

(It's here to stay)

'Cos love is only a feeling

Anyway.
