Like A First Time Thing

(album: You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me - 1974)

Softly as a gentle summer rain
Dancing lightly on my window pane
That's the feeling when she touches my face
And I'm caught up in the magic of her warm loving ways
And I can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing
And when she quietly whispers my name
Rockets explode inside my brain
It's like I'd never touched her before
And I've guessed that's what makes me want to touch her all the more
And I can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing
Once you've turned a certain page in life
The frieworks just seem to disappear
She takes me back to the first stage in life
It's like the Fourth of July each day of the year
And in a world where people constantly change
Somehow she's kept our world the same
Or maybe it just seems that way to me
'Cause love can make a man see the things he wants to see
And I still can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing
