Lyrics by Elsie Brown

First Time In My Life

Verse 1

Time is not on our side
It took me so long to realize
That moments write a memory's tale
Which one day turns to a wishing well
To take me back like a witch's spell
And brings back hope, but then it fades

Verse 2

I remember when
You walked across my path and then I fell
You picked me up, I softly smiled
Before you spoke, I walked away
You chased me down and asked me out
I wanted to know what you were all about

Pre-Chorus

It was the first time in my life
The first time I shared my life
With you

Chorus

Every memory writes our story
Every page still feels so true
Though the chapters now have ended
My heart still lives with you

Verse 3

Home became the life we built
From the dreams we drew together
Though our first fight shook our world
We held on through every weather
Until we found a place to call our own
Where every dream had finally found a home

Pre-Chorus

It was the first time in my life
The first time I shared my home
With you

Chorus

Every memory writes our story
Every page still feels so true
Though the chapters now have ended
My heart still lives with you

Bridge

Then our little boy arrived
Changing both our hearts in time
A love we'd never known before
Filled every corner of our lives
We gave him all the best we had
Praying he'd grow kind, brave, and strong

Final Pre-Chorus

It was the first time in my life
The first time in my life
Without you

Final Chorus

Every memory writes our story
Every page still feels so true
Though the chapters now have ended
Your love still carries me through

It's the first time in my life...

Without you.
