Started out so simple

Everything so innocent and plain

She was in a doorway

And I was walking nowhere down the main



She whispered something softly

And stepped into the light

Can you help me out she said

I'm a little lost tonight

One day love just hits you with a flash

Lights go off around you like some

She said her bags were stolen

All they left her was her camera on her arm

She told me she was new in town

Only two weeks off the farm



Why did I believe her

Heaven only knows

She looked into my eyes

And my resolution goes

One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some

Pictures of two fools

Laughing at the world

Smiling as only good luck does

Truth is you're not even looking at me girl

All the time I was falling

You kept on stalling

Sizing up how big a fool I was



(repeat bridge)



Woke up in the morning

I didn't think that I had been asleep too long

The room was dark and empty

I could see that all my clothes

And money were gone



I've run out of excuses

And people I can blame

If she ever asked me too

I'd do it all again



One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some
