My First Impression of You - Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson

My first impression of you

Was like the sight of flowers in Spring;

You were a glorious thing to see!

My first impression of you

Was somethin' indescribably new;

I stood there looking at you smiling at me

If you had stepped right out of heaven

It wouldn’t surprise me more

I thought you were an angel from heaven’s door!

It may sound silly but true

My heart just stopped when I caught your eye

So overwhelming was my first impression of you!
