Lyrics
The first time that I saw you,
The speaker recalls the first time they encountered someone.
There was sunshine in your eye,
The person being observed had a joyful and radiant expression.
All the people stared in wonder,
Onlookers were amazed at the sight of this person.
You sent shivers down my spine,
The observer experienced a strong emotional reaction, possibly excitement or attraction.
With your skin so soft and tender,
Description of the person's soft and tender skin.
And your hair just like the sea,
The person's hair is likened to the sea, emphasizing its beauty.
I lost control of all my feelings,
The observer lost control of their emotions in the presence of this person.
And these words came out of me,
The speaker expressed their feelings verbally, possibly revealing their emotions.
Beauty came to town today, yeah.
Beauty is personified as having arrived in town on this day.
The last time that I saw you,
The speaker reminisces about a subsequent encounter with the same person.
Your lips curved in a smile,
The person smiled, bringing joy to the speaker's life.
Made the day seem more inviting,
The person's smile had a positive impact on the speaker's perception of the day.
Made my life seem more worthwhile,
The speaker feels that their life is more meaningful because of this person.
Then beauty shot it's arrow,

And it pierced right through my heart,
The beauty of the person deeply affected the speaker emotionally.
On it's tip there was a message,
The arrow carried a message, possibly implying a significant revelation or impact.
I will read it from the start,
The speaker expresses a willingness to read and understand the message.
Beauty came to town today.
