The First Song That Wasn't The Blues

(album: Come Back To Me - 1982)

It's not easy to forget all the heartaches
And the sad songs I have known in the past
Lord, I've heard a line of songs, the kind of songs
That make you want to sing along
But they just don't last

When I started singing with the loving
That you're bringing
Me and you, I changed my tune
You're the first song that I've ever sung
That wasn't the blues

It's so easy to remember
All the living, loving
Haunting memories, you sing to me
Words that used to be so hard for me to sing
Now come so easily, with harmony

Every note I'm singing
Comes down like a ray of sunshine
On the dew, just for you
You're the first song that I've ever sung
That wasn't the blues

Oh, you are the first girl in my world
That never made me cry
And it seems like a lifetime
Since these eyes
Of mine have been dry

Now that you're holding me
I feel that happy love song
Coming through, mmmm, thank you
You're the first song that I've ever sung
That wasn't the blues

Oh, you are the first girl in my world
That never made me cry
And it seems like a lifetime
Since these eyes
Of mine have been dry

Now that you're holding me
I feel that happy love song
Coming through, mmmm, thank you
You're the first song that I've ever sung
That wasn't the blues
You're the first song that I've ever sung
That wasn't the blues
