Started out so simple

Everything so innocent and plain

She was in a doorway

And I was walking nowhere down the main

She whispered something softly

And stepped into the light

Can you help me out she said

I'm a little lost tonight

One day love just hits you with a flash

Lights go off around you like some photograph

She said her bags were stolen

All they left her was the camera on her arm

She told me she was new in town

Only two weeks off the farm

Why did I believe her

Heaven only knows

She looked into my eyes

And my resolution goes

One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

Pictures of two fools laughing at the world

Smiling as only good luck does

Truth is you're not even looking at me girl

All the time I was falling

You kept on stalling

Sizing up how big a fool I was

Woke up in the morning

I don't think that I had been asleep too long

The room was dark and empty

I could see that all my clothes and money were gone

I've run out of excuses

And people I can blame

If she ever asked me too

I'd do it all again

One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
