The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first time I loved forever
Was when you whispered my name
And I knew at once you loved me
For the me of who I am
The first time I loved forever
I cast all else aside
And I bid my heart to follow
Be there no more need to hide
And if wishes and dreams are merely for children
And if love's a tale for fools
I'll live the dream with you
For all my life and forever
There's a truth I will always know
When my world divides and shatters
Your love is where I'll go
