Lyrics

FIRST LOVE

I see you nearly every day at the five-n-dime
Your smiles’s kind and your eyes, they are so blue
You know, I felt just a bit insane
I thought I heard you calling out my name
But it was some other girl who was walking away from you
And I could tell by the look in your eyes just what she’d put you through

You know, a first love
Is such a strong love
A sometimes wrong love a blinded heart can’t see
And when your first love
Becomes the wrong love
Then darling, turn around and find that love in me

I heard you telling a friend she’s seeing another boy
‘Cause he gives him all the things that she feels he needs
You know, I never did understand
The things a woman must give a man
I always thought that love was the golden seed
That grew out to harvest ‘neath the rocks and the choking weeds

You know, a first love
Is such a strong love
A sometimes wrong love a blinded heart can’t see
And when your first love
Becomes the wrong love
Then darling, turn around and find that love in me

I see you nearly every day at the five-n-dime
I see you every night when I go to sleep
You know, I felt just a bit insane
I woke up hearing you call my name
And into my arms you came to keep
Now, if only you could find the faith to take that leap

You know, a first love
Is such a strong love
A sometimes wrong love a blinded heart can’t see
And when your first love
Becomes the wrong love
Then darling, turn around and find that love in me
I say, turn around and find that love in me
