Lyrics: It's turning out just another day I took a shower and I went on my way I stopped there as usual had a coffee and pie when i turned to leave i couldn't believe my eyes standing there i didn't know what to say without one touch we stood there face to face Chorus (And) i was dying indside to hold you i couldn't believe what i felt for you dying inside i was dying inside but i couldn't bring myself to touch you you said hello then u asked my name i didn't know if i should go all the way inside i felt my life have really changed i knew that it would never be the same standing there i didn't know what to say first time looked away when i whispered your name Chorus 2x one hello changed my life i didn't believe in love at first sight but you've shown me what is life and I now i know my love (i know it's coming right)
