Intro: 

              
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


Bridge:

                    
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
