For The First Time

(Jud Friedman, Allen Rich, James Newton-Howard)

Are those your eyes
Is that your smile
I've been looking at you forever
yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Can this be real
Can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
and are you the same you
It's all so strange
How can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Such a long time ago I had given up
on finding this emotion ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I found you somehow
and I've never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time
For the first time
