VERSE 1:
Girl it felt
Like I had you in my arms
Well maybe I did or maybe
I'm just thinking about you
I guess it's cause
You're the first I've ever had
And I can't forget you now
Boy, I can't forget you
HOOK:
You're my first love
You're the only one
I've ever loved
~repeat~
VERSE 1:
The first time that I saw you
You had a flower
Pinned in your hair
You had such a pretty face
And a smile
That was always there
Well this was my first love
And maybe it was yours
It doesn't really matter now
Boy just wanna let you know
HOOK:
I'll never forget
The first time I saw you
You had the sweetest smile
(the sweetest smile)
And all I could think of
Was how I could make you
My guy
(make you mine, my first love)
HOOK:
You're my first love
(boy you have my heart)
You're the only one
I've ever loved
(to kiss to touch to hold you close)
You're my first love
(my first love)
You're the only one




I've ever loved
~repeat~

My parents wedding song. They always sing this to each other. Its gonna be their 20th year anniversary

@jasminebumanglag8360

Yeah, my parents were young when they got married. My mom was only 18 years old, and my dad was only 20 years old. I'm 40 years old, so you can see that it's been a long time. πŸ˜€ hahaha.

@katceila1229

My mother and my father used to sing this with each other. It's so upsetting how fast life changes. I love this song because I love the memories of happy life once before.

@jasminebumanglag8360

I like the words, and the fact that there is a boy and girl singing. One of the best love songs ever written and recorded. I think buffy writes her own songs. You can tell it.

@jenniferdomingo3222

Oh My! This hit me hard. So many memories with this song. Will never forget!

@ant0n_29
