[Verse 1]

Oh 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
Oh I felt light-headed at the touch of this strangers hand
An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand

Cause you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be all and end all

[Chorus]

Love is only a feeling (drifting away)
When I'm in your arms I'll start believing (it's here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway

[Verse 2]
Oh 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
(Each cloud that scudded by)
Just to beam on you and I

[Chorus]

Love is only a feeling (drifting away)
When I'm in your arms I'll start believing (it's here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway, anyway

[Chorus with minor changes]
Love is only a feeling (drifting away)
And we gotta stop ourselves believing (it's here to stay)
Cause love is only a feeling
Anyway
