First Love

Verse 1:

I see it, the moment,

Yea that’s it, I know it,

The moment that I found the one.

My heart skipped, I felt it,

You pulled me, like a magnet

Yea something had just begun

I can’t quite, explain it

Couldn’t seem to, contain it

It’s something that hit deep inside

Chorus

I loved you first, love

You were all that I dreamed of,

Wrote your name in my book, love.

Hoped one day you’d be mine,

Prayed that soon you would see me,

Maybe think I was pretty,

And you’d want to get to know me,

Just a matter of time,

Yea I loved you first, love.

Verse 2:

Soon after, it happened.

Just like I, imagined

You smiled and you told me your name,

It sounded, like music,

A tune or, a lyric,

I somehow was never the same

I fell and, you caught me,

I never, felt lonely

You carried my worries away

Chorus:

You were my first love.

You were all I could think of

Wore your name on my heart, love,

It grew stronger each day.

But we were still so young

Life had really just begun

We weren’t ready to be one

So it drifted away

But you were my first love.

Verse 3:

It’s funny, how time goes,

The way that, no one knows

How things can catch you by surprise

I never, imagined

That this love, would happen

But I see it now in your eyes

You asked and, I answered

Now everyone’s gathered

Our hearts are as full as could be

Chorus:

And I’ll keep you first, love

Build the life that we’ve dreamed of

No I won’t ever give up,

I’ll be yours for all time.

I promise I’ll always love you,

It’s all that I know how to do,

Since the moment I saw you,

I knew you were supposed to be mine

Yea, I’ll keep you first love.

Bridge:

One day, I see it,

It’s hard to, believe it,

The smallest hands I’ve ever seen,

Will cling to, you tightly,

You think that this might be

The greatest way it’s ever been,

She’ll dance on, your feet

And you’ll smile at me

And wonder how could it be,

Chorus:

You’ll be her first love

Show her what real love is made of

Teach her that she is enough,

Raise her to be strong on her own,

Hold her hand when it’s her turn,

Watch her smile as their love burns,

Let her go, I know it hurts,

Hard to say that she’s grown

But you were here first love

Slow Verse 4:

I see it, the sunset

I hope I won’t, forget

The life that we’ve shared so in love

Chorus:

If I go first, love

I’ll stay at the gate till you show up

Keep it open for you love,

I’ll wait til the end of time

And I’ll smile at Jesus,

Ask him to wait til it’s both of us,

I’ll know then it’s been enough,

Time without your hand in mine,

Yea if I go first, love

Closing chorus:

Yea I loved you first, love

Then you were my first love,

I kept you first all my life, love

It will never be enough,

Our love goes beyond heaven and earth, past eternity but still I’ll get there first, and then you will see that no matter where you are, I will be right there with you, if I go first, love.

The greatest way it’s ever been,

She’ll dance on, your feet

And you’ll smile at me

And wonder how could it be,

Chorus:

You’ll be her first love

Show her what real love is made of

Teach her that she is enough,

Raise her to be strong on her own,

Hold her hand when it’s her turn,

Watch her smile as their love burns,

Let her go, I know it hurts,

Hard to say that she’s grown

But you were her first love

Verse 4: Slow

I see it, the sunset

I hope I won’t, forget

The life that we’ve shared so in love

Chorus:

If I go first, love

I’ll stay at the gate till you show up

Keep it open for you love,

I’ll wait til the end of time

And I’ll smile at Jesus,

Ask him to wait til it’s both of us,

I’ll know then it’s been enough,

Time without your hand in mine,

Yea if I go first, love

Closing chorus:

Yea I loved you first, love

Then you were my first love,

I kept you first all my life, love

It will never be enough
