For the first ti----------me

Well I heard the other day
You're a Sunday school teacher
Got the PTA, got a real good life
You're a real good wife
I'm living in this circus world
No I ain't married but I got a girl
And I'm her man and we're making plans
But I still smile when I think of us
Together we learned how to love

For the first time
Lovin' blind we dove right in
For the first
We gave everything and then
Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time

Solo: G Am C D (repeat)

Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time

For the first time
Lovin' blind we dove right in
For the first time
We gave everything and then
For the first time
We moved on with our lives
For the first time
