First Love

In the shade of the fig tree

Where our young hearts played free

I took your hand in mine

Underneath the summer sky

We were just kids in grade six

Dreaming of love's sweet tricks

I whispered soft and low

That I loved you, didn't you know

Through the laughter and the tears

Facing down all of our fears

Your brother's watchful gaze

Made those moments feel like a maze

But destiny found its way

Through the years, come what may

We both walked different roads

Yet our hearts still held the codes

Perien, my heart's delight

Together we’ll shine so bright

I'll cherish, respect you too

Forever, it’s me and you

I told your father then

That you’d be my love again

Promises we made so true

In the garden where we grew

But destiny found its way

Through the years, come what may

We both walked different roads

Yet our hearts still held the codes

Perien, my heart's delight

Together we’ll shine so bright

I'll cherish, respect you too

Forever, it’s me and you
