For the First Time

[stranger_to_the_rain]

This affection I feel is hard to understand
It’s not the way I planned
My world is changing
Wherever I turn
It’s his face I see
Looking back at me
And in my eyes I can’t disguise
The affection I feel
Is getting the better of me

Oh for the first time it’s not a dream
Oh for the first time it seems so real
That I want to remember
Every moment
That I’m there beside him
When he gently takes my hand

So here I am
Feeling things I’ve never felt
And all because of him
My world is changing
(She’s turned my whole world upside down)
Everything that I do
I do to catch his eye
Well and I won’t deny
I stand here guilty
(I wonder if she feels the same)
This affection I feel
Has gotten the better of me

So for the first time
Can this be love?
Oh for the first time
I know it’s real
And with him I feel
So completely
Uniquely like no other
As he gently holds me close

But wait a minute
What am I saying?
I never thought
On a scale so grand
But these emotions
Racing through me
Tell me I must
Tell me I can
I’m finding who I am

Cause for the first time
I have no doubt
But for the first time
I understand, try to understand
Yes for the first time
I realize
That all the things they said would happen
Well they’re happening to me
Every time I’m with that man
Every time I’m with
That man
