For the First Time
Kenny Loggins Lyrics

Are those your eyes, is that your smile?
I have been looking at you for so long, but I never paid attention to your details. Is that really your eyes and smile that I'm seeing now?

I've been lookin' at you forever
I've been aware of your existence for a long time, but never actually saw you.

But I never saw you before
Even though I have been looking at you for a long time, I never truly saw you before now.

Are these your hands holdin' mine
I'm amazed to finally see that it's your hands holding mine.

Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
I am now thinking about how I could not see your love for me before, realizing that I was blind to it.

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
Now, at last, I see your eyes for the first time and I am immersed in the love I'm feeling.

For the first time I'm seein' who you are
Before, I had no idea who you were or the love you had for me. But now I see everything clearly.

I can't believe how much I see
I'm so amazed by everything that I see in you now, and that it took me so long to see it.

When you're lookin' back at me
Through your eyes I am able to see the love that you have for me.

Now I understand what love is, love is
I'm finally understanding what love is and how it feels to be loved for the first time.

Can this be real, can this be true?
I can't believe that what I'm experiencing is real, it feels surreal that I have found true love.

Am I the person I was this morning
I feel like my whole world has changed since the moment I fell in love with you. I'm not the same person I was this morning.

And are you the same you ?
I'm wondering if you have been the same person all along, if you have loved me for just as long as I have loved you.

It's all so strange how can it be
It's strange how love came to me when I least expected it, but I'm so grateful it did.

All along this love was right in front of me
I never realized that the love that I was always searching for was right in front of me, until now.

Such a long time ago
It seems like a long time ago, feels like I gave up on love, and thought I'd never experience love again.

I had given up on findin' this emotion ever again
I was sure that I would never find love again no matter how long I searched for it.

But you live with me now
Now that I have found you, you are a part of me, and I feel your love every day.

Yes I've found you somehow
Incredible how I managed to find the one person in the world who was meant for me.

And I've never been so sure
I'm certain that I have found true love, and there's nothing that can sway my belief in that.

Now I understand why love is, love is
Through your love, I finally understand what love really is and how it feels to be loved in return.
