My First Love



By Anthony Hamilton

FIRST LOVE



Verse I

Now we've been through too much together

And that's separate us from the rest

Now we are approaching up on stormy weather

Let's see what our love is made of



I hate you were crying last night

Said I should've been by your side

Girl, please, don't you leave me

And, girl, don't you say goodbye



Chorus

Now, we've been through too much together

And we're approaching stormy weather

But girl, you're my first love

And no matter what the people say

I'm gonna love you anyway

Girl, you're my first love



Verse II

Boy, I swear I think you're sacred

And I'm so thankful that you live

If I could take back all of the sorrow

then I'd, I'd replace it with a kids



You're the air that I breathe

the perfect one for me

and baby I, I refuse to let you go

and I refuse to let you leave



Chorus

Now, we've been through too much together

And we're approaching stormy weather

But boy, you're my first love

And no matter what the people

Say I'm gonna love you anyway

Boy, you're my first love



Now, we've been through too much together

And we're approaching stormy weather

You're my first love

No matter what the people say (no matter)

I'm gonna love you anyway

You're my first love

My first love



Ad Lib



I will not let you go away

I will not let you go away

I will not let you go away

I will not let you go away



You're my first love

You're my first love

You're my baby

You're my baby



I love you

My first love

Rooted in the soulful traditions of English gospel and contemporary R&B, the track showcases Hamilton's distinctive vocal style, characterized by a warm, resonant tone and intricate melodic phrasing. The song captures the universal sentiment of early romance, blending acoustic instrumentation with a polished production that defined the sound of early 2000s soul music. As part of Hamilton's broader discography, which includes acclaimed works like 'Back To Love' and 'Ain't Nobody Worrying,' the recording reflects his commitment to exploring themes of love, faith, and personal growth. The track remains a notable example of his ability to craft emotionally resonant music that bridges traditional gospel roots with modern pop sensibilities.
