The First Time

Words and music by Martin GK

Inspiration: 'Round the Bend' by Nevil Shute

Sing along to the

Sometimes you know when a thing is right
Two hearts hold each other, the future's bright
You're walking tall, you hold each other tight
And watch the stars that fall
I never thought things could be this good
I never believed that they could
For the first time I have it all!

You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love
No matter how many further times
It never feels quite the same
Hold on, don't rush in
That moment is too special to waste
You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love

I wonder how I could be so blind
Why I didn't spot what was in your mind
How what you were looking for you didn't find
And so were on your way
What can you do when the world falls in
When inside you have nothing to sing
And your future dream is blown away

Chorus

Some day will come when I meet someone
And all that I sing here will be undone
We will dream as two
In everything that we do
And make our dreams comes true
And then I will see what I missed before
The first time is never the end
And what's after that
Is up to you

You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love
No matter how many further times
It never feels quite the same
Hold on, don't rush in
That moment is too special to waste
You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love

You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love
But still you remember the future's there
What you do with it's up to you
Hold on, don't rush in
That moment is too special to waste
You can only do a thing for the first time once
And that goes for falling in love
