This Is The First Time

(álbum: Sher-oo! - 1968)

In my time
I've watched my friends become lovers

I've had to learn
To live my life on my own

For long I've had a troubled mind
But I've put that behind
And now I know

This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I've really been strong
This is the first time
And it's the last time

Look now you'll see
All that you mean to me

In my time
I've been hung up with the wrong kind
The kind who build your hopes
Then let you down

I've lived too long in a shadow
Felt alone even in a crowd
But that's all gone

This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I've really been strong
This is the first time
And it's the last time

Look now you'll see
All that you mean to me

It seemed I'd lost the thread of living
Everyone taking, no one giving
I turned down advice
I should have taken
But no longer can my dreams be taken

This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I've really been strong
This is the first time
And it's the last time

Look now you'll see
All that you mean to me

This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I've really been strong
This is the first time
And it's the last time
