Saw you at an airport
ticket in your hand
I got a feeling in my heart
I didn't understand

Something in the way you were
something foreign in your eyes
made me wish that I could share
a moment in your life

Mysterious woman
I wonder did you see
the kind of spell you put
on me

The room was full of faces
but you stood out from the crowd
people going places
far away beyond the crowd

Were you from the streets of Paris
the coast of Italy
or were you from as far away
as the Gulf of Araby?

Mysterious woman
I wonder did you see
the kind of spell
you put on me

Mysterious woman
I wish I could find the key
to the kind of spell
you put on me
Did I imagine
you smiled
or were my thoughts
going wild

Suddenly you were going
the speaker called your plane
there was no way of knowing
if I'd ever see you again

But this brief, so brief encounter
will always stay with me
and I will always treasure
the bitter-sweet memory

Mysterious woman
I wonder did you see
the kind of spell you put on me

Mysterious woman
it will always be a mystery
the kind of spell
you put on me
