The First Time
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, the first time
The first time, the first time
Well can I say amen?
I never thought, this could happen again
And I hope this feeling lasts
Can tomorrow feel like it did back in the past?
Before we knew it too well
But only time, time will tell
If tomorrow feels like
The first time, the first time
The first time, the first time
We live on learning from the past
And I know those feelings, that never seem to last
But can we put it on again?
And have it feel as special
As it did back then?
When we discovered it
Before we knew it well?
But only time, time will tell if tomorrow feels like
The first time, the first time, time, yeah time
The first time, the first time
The first time, the first time
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Yeah
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Ooh, I wonder where the time went?
Yeah
