about

I went through a phase of writing songs about all the people in my life, and this was one of the better ones about how I met my wife. It has since evolved into this world-fusion epic… a perfect example of the magic of the studio experience.

lyrics

The first time I saw you, you wouldn’t even shake my hand
But I said to myself, ooh
Then you were gone as quick as you came
Left me by myself, ooh

Maybe it was destined to become what it became
Maybe at the time I couldn’t remember your name
Maybe it was everything we needed it to be
Maybe that’s why God gave you to me

Laughing so loving well I liked you right away
But I kept to myself, ooh
Try to break the ice, get past acquaintancy
And I fought with myself, ooh

Tie was the thing we needed most
Time we got aplenty; you’re what heaven sent me
I have almost given up the ghost
But you’re the final piece to the puzzle of my soul

Looking back now, was it me or was it you
Remembering myself, ooh
Was it the situation or was it some master plan
I’m glad for myself, ooh
