You Are the Woman

I met James at work. A few months after we started dating, he told me the first time he had seen me was several months before we actually met. He was up at our main building and I was at the front desk talking to the receptionist. He said he figured there was no way someone as cute as me could possibly be single, but he asked around anyway. Unfortunately, he asked the wrong people because no one he asked knew, but it all worked out eventually. This is one of my most special memories.

Yesterday while I was at my volunteer project, the song "You Are the Woman" came on the radio and I almost started to cry, especially when it got to the line that goes "I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart." I like to think this song is how James felt about me.

"You Are the Woman," by Firefall

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much the things you say to me
It's not the things you do
It's how I feel each time you're close to me
That keeps me close to you

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the clothes you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there, woh-oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feelin'
That's just not my style
You got a way to set my senses reelin'
Every time you smile, woh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

Of my heart, ooh, woh my heart
