Lyrics

FIRST LOVE
[Verse 1]
We were only six when we first met,
Too young to know what love could mean,
Just two kids sharing childhood days,
Living somewhere in between.
Then somewhere through those passing years,
Something started changing inside,
My best friend became my first love,
And I wanted you there by my side.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I saw you coming,
My heart would somehow miss a beat,
And the first time that you held my hand,
You swept me off my feet.
[Chorus]
You were my first love, my first real kiss,
My first taste of a world like this,
The first embrace I didn't want to end,
The girl I loved, who started as my friend.
I thought those days would last forever,
I never dreamed we'd say goodbye,
You were the first to touch my heart,
And part of you stayed there inside.
[Verse 2]
Those first few dates seem innocent now,
With someone always close behind,
We'd hold hands where they couldn't see us,
Or at least that's what was in our minds.
And every time I got to kiss you,
The whole world seemed to drift away,
You'd take my breath and leave me dreaming,
And I'd wish that moment there could stay.
[Chorus]
You were my first love, my first real kiss,
My first taste of a world like this,
The first embrace I didn't want to end,
The girl I loved, who started as my friend.
I thought those days would last forever,
I never dreamed we'd say goodbye,
You were the first to touch my heart,
And part of you stayed there inside.
[Verse 3]
Eight years had grown from childhood friendship,
Into something neither could pretend,
But I was the one who finally walked away,
And brought our story to an end.
I thought my heart was torn from my soul,
A hurt I'd never known before,
I couldn't see beyond the pain then,
Or know that I would love once more.
[Bridge]
Life moved on and so did we,
Different roads and different lives,
We found the ones we'd walk beside,
And watched the years go passing by.
But first love doesn't disappear,
Just because the years have flown,
Some people leave your everyday life,
But somehow never leave your soul.
[Final Verse]
Then many years later I walked through a door,
To a little coffee shop one day,
And there you were, sitting at a table,
Waiting for me just the same old way.
We'd both found love, we'd both found happiness,
There was nothing I wanted to change,
But before my head could tell me otherwise...
My heart skipped a beat again.
[Final Chorus]
You were my first love, my first real kiss,
And time could never quite erase this,
That little boy who once held your hand
Is somewhere inside this older man.
We weren't meant to last forever,
But that doesn't mean our love was wrong,
You were the first to touch my heart,
And you've had a place there all along.
[Outro]
Some loves are there for a lifetime,
Some are there to show us the way,
But I'll carry a little piece of you
Until my final day.
And after all these years between us,
There's one thing time could never change...
I saw my first love sitting there—
And my heart skipped a beat again.
