The Dubs made one of the mid-'50s' more endearing ballad records, "Could This Be Magic," in 1957. It wasn't a huge hit, but still became a doo wop classic. The group, featuring lead vocalist Richard Blandon, continued recording for Gone, Musictone, ABC, End, Josie, Wilshire, Lana, Candlelite, Johnson, and Clifton through the mid-'70s, but never enjoyed any success or made any headway outside doo wop circles. ~ Ron Wynn, All-Music Guide
Your Very First Love
The Dubs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is nothing sweeter than your very first kiss
You can look (You can look)
You can try (You can try)
Until the day you die
But in vain (But in vain)
Whoa-ooh-oh (But in vain)
There is nothing warmer than that first embrace
You'll never forget that first lipstick taste
You can look (You can look)
You can try (You can try)
Until the day you die
But in vain (But in vain)
But in vain (But in vain)
But in vain (But in vain, but in vain)
If you have loved as I
Than you should know
Your first love will cling to you
And when Spring's in the air you'll hear her whispering
For she'll still be there
There is nothing fresher than that first glance
There's nothing deeper than your first romance
You can look (You can look)
You can try (You can try)
Until the day you die
But in vain (But in vain)
Whoa-ooh-oh (But in vain)
It all was in vain (But in vain, but in vain)
It's in vain, it's in vain (Your very first love)
It's in vain, it's in vain (Your very first love)
(Your very first love, your very first love)
(Your very first love, your very first love)
