First love
Seals And Crofts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody has a first love, they have left in yesterday.
Feelings they have left behind, it's just a place in time but not so far away.
Everybody has a first love, when the dream they shared was new.
I remember that special someone, so I wrote this song just for you.
First love in my life. Where are you tonight? I wonder about you.
First love in my life. Did things turned out alright? I worry about you.
'Cause I've got everything, everything in life that I wanted.
It would kill me now and make me sad to know you are lonely.
First love never dies.
I wish you love, I wish you happiness. And may the years be kind to you.
You'll always be a part of me, share this thought with me. I'll carry you always.
First love, first love never dies. Remember
First love, first love never dies. I tell you




First love, first love never dies. Remember
First love, first love never dies. Whoa...

Everybody has first love indeed, 1986 I met my first crush n also he’s my First Love. He never knew about it, 1996 found out he’s already married, I got married 1998. After 35 yrs finally got the chance to tell him that I did love him, so surprised because all along he liked me too. Now we might not be a couple but we are friends now and forever πŸ‘β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

This song makes me cry.. I had my first love in the summer of 1972. We are both firsts. Separated for college and that's it. I know he love me that much. For half a century never heard of him but he was never forgotten. He is my greatest love then recently i found him but cancer i already took him. I cried hard for him..many questions not answered.. I miss him.. Now got connection to his closed loveones.. I dreamt of him. Really first love never diesπŸ’”πŸ’™πŸ˜­
