Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes

Not really. A simile is a comparison that uses like or as. In this sentence the word like does not make a comparison.
Compare: Since the day we met, my once-leaden feet seem as agile as Mercury's winged shoes.
Watch out for cliches in similes, e.g., "strong as an ox." Good writing avoids hackneyed phrases. See also the good information linked below.

It may be a simile, but it isn't a complete sentence. There is no subject or verb for the main clause. Since the moment I spotted you, WHO DID WHAT that was like walking around . . .? An example: Since the moment I spotted you, I felt like I was walking around with little wings on my shoes.

No. But it's pretty enough to put on a greeting card to someone you have a crush on. A better example would be:
"The very first instant my eyes were graced by your presence, I was on Cloud 9. Like I was walking around with little wings on my shoes".

A similie is, "I'm like a lovesick puppy chasing you around." It's from the same song.
