For The First Time

(album: If We Fall In Love Tonight - 1996)

Are those your eyes? Is that your smile?
I been looking at you forever
Yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind

And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
Oh yeah

Can this be real? Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
It's all so strange, how can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me

And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I am seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time

Such a long time ago
I had given up on finding this emotion
Ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I found you somehow
And I've never been so sure

For the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
For the first time
