First Time Love
Patti Austin · Other Songs - Patti Austin
All of the hurt that was there
Then I look into your eyes and see
All of the joys that we've both shared
I don't wanna wish for love too hard
But now all my dreams are of you
And if dreams come true
Then you'll be my first time love
There were moments before when I thought it was love
But I know that it wasn't nearly enough
It's so hard to remember my sad yesterdays
And from now to December it's Christmas always
You know that it's true
Yes, you are my first time love
Well, there may have been a few before
But you are my first time love
And nobody else could want you more than I do
'Cause it's you that I love
Yes, it's you that I love and never more again
Could there be a better friend
Oh, I had my wish, now my wish has come true
I needed some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
It's so hard to remember my sad yesterdays
And from now to December it's Christmas always
You know that it's true
Yes, you are my first time love
Well, there may have been a few before
But you are my first time love
And nobody else could want you more than I do
'Cause it's you that I love
Yes, it's you that I love and never more again
Could there be a better friend
Oh, I had my wish, now my wish has come true
I needed some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
You are my first time love
You are my first time love, love
