New Yorkers Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas take a vacation in the Scottish Highlands and get lost in a mystical village called Brigadoon that only appears once every hundred years. Despite the 18th century environment and personalities of the villagers, the young men both find romantic partners, Tommy?s much more serious with a girl named Fiona. As the day slowly comes to a close, the men realize that not only will the town disappear again for the next one hundred years, but also that if anyone succeeds in leaving, it will be lost forever. Tommy must choose between his fiancé back in New York and his new love in the mysterious Brigadoon.
In this song, Tommy tells Jeff just how happy and in love he is with Fiona.
Maybe the sun gave me the power
For I could swim Loch Lomond and be home in half an hour
Maybe the air gave me the drive
For I'm all aglow and alive
What a day this has been, what a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal
I could swear I was falling, I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
When we walked up the brae
Not a word did we say
It was almost like bein' in love
But your arm linked in mine
Made the world kind o' fine
It was almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal
I could swear I was fallin'
I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
