Pertama kali adalah matahari
Yang mencium bumi ini
Pertama kali engkaulah kekasih
Yang membelaiku sejuk di hati
Engkaulah pujaan dambaan di kalbu
Engkaulah rinduku di malam bisu
Adakah kau dengar bisikan hatiku
Betapa inginku selalu dekat denganmu

(Hu-hu-hu)
Serasa hati bagai dibuai mimpi
Kala kau kembali lagi
Serasa hari seakan enggan berganti
Bila kau selalu ada di sisi

Serasa hati bagai dibuai mimpi
Kala kau kembali lagi
Serasa hari seakan enggan berganti
Bila kau selalu ada di sisi
Engkaulah pujaan dambaan di kalbu
Engkaulah rinduku di malam bisu
Adakah kau dengar bisikan hatiku
Betapa inginku selalu dekat denganmu
