Lyrics
For the very first time, I find for the first time
I’m head over heels in love
For the very first time, I know that the last time
Was ev’rything else but love
For the very first time, there won’t be a next time
My romancing days are all through
All my love affairing was simply preparing
To love, for the first time, you
