I've got stars in my eye, and a catch in my throat,
while my heart beats to beat the band
To be truthful with you, this thrill isn't new,
but somehow it's different, it's grand

Oh!, I've had this feelin' before, but never like this
Love had me reelin' before, but never like this
Who ever dreamed this could happen,
To someone supposed to be smart?
I must have really been nappin'
to let you walk off with my heart

My dreams, and I've had quite a few,
were never like this
This is too good to be true,
But so was that kiss!
I know by the way my heart leaps
That this time I'm playin' for keeps
Yes, I've had this feelin' before, darlin'
But never like this!

My dreams, and I've had quite a few
were never like this ( never like this! )
This is too good to be true
But so was that kiss!
I know by the way my heart leaps
That this time I'm playin' for keeps
Yes, I've had this feelin' before, darlin'
But never like this!
