Lyrics
I saw them at the mall today
A sweet young couple holding hands
I smiled as I drifted back
To long ago... to memory...
The smell of her hair
The swing of her skirt
How every moment away from her
Hurt...
The first time -
The first time you fall in love
The smallest of smiles
Could kindle your heart
How her perfume lingered when you were
Apart...
The first time -
The first time you fall in love
The first time you notice that exquisite light
That makes the world glow like a dream
The first time you can't imagine a life
Without her as your love supreme
You always will cherish
These moments so sweet
Discovering without her you are
Incomplete...
The first time -
The first time you fall in love
