When I Saw You Lyrics - Desmond John

[Verse] 

When I was young (when I was young) 

I looked my mother in the eyes 

Said what does love look like 

So she answered me 

She said it's different (it's different) 

For everybody but I should know 

'Cause if you blink you miss the cue 

Yeah, she guaranteed it 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Oh, so I put on my shoes 

And raced out the door 

To find the one 

That I was looking for

[Chorus] 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

With your hair split in two (with your hair split in two) 

And your second hand boots (and your second hand boots) 

And your freckles, so cute (and your freckles, so cute) 

Yes I saw you (yes I saw you) 

In your yellow raincoat (in your yellow raincoat) 

Jumping on the winter snow 

You sure did glow 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you)

[Verse] 

I sat my father down 

At the table and spoke my mind 

Asked him what does love look like 

So he said to me 

You won't believe it 

He said how time goes so fast 

You gotta make every second last 

Oh if you find her 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Oh so I closed tight my eyes 

And asked God above 

To show me a picture of my true love 

[Chorus] 

And I saw you (and I saw you) 

With your hair split in two (with your hair split in two) 

And your second hand boots (and your second hand boots) 

And your freckles, so cute (and your freckles, so cute) 

Yes I saw you (yes I saw you) 

In your yellow raincoat (in your yellow raincoat) 

Jumping on the winter snow 

You sure did glow 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

When I saw you (when I saw you) 

[Bridge] 

And I saw you (and I saw you) 

You (you) 

You (you) 

You (you) 

[Chorus] 

And I saw you (saw you) 

With your hair split in two (in two) 

And your second hand boots 

And your freckles, so cute 

Yes I saw you (you) 

In your yellow raincoat (raincoat) 

Jumping on the winter snow 

You sure did glow (sure did) 

[Post Chorus] 

Pretty face long hair with the nice eyes 

(pretty face long hair with the nice eyes) 

Come and spend your time with a nice guy 

(come and spend your time with a nice guy) 

You can be the passenger I'll drive 

(you can be the passenger I'll drive) 

I'll always be here right by your side 

(I'll always be here right by your side) 

[Outro] 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side) 

By your side (by your side)
