Every First Time

Verse 1:
You looked at me this morning like a stranger at the door
Asked me who I was, baby, like you’d never seen me before
But I took your hand so gently, pulled you close just like I do
And whispered all our secrets ’til I saw that spark in you

Pre-Chorus:
Some days you remember, some days slip away
But darling, I’m not going nowhere, I’m forever here to stay

Chorus:
‘Cause loving you is like falling all over again
Every sunrise brings a brand new chance to let you in
When you forget my name, I’ll be right here to say
I’m the one who’s loved you since forever and a day
Every moment’s precious, every touch feels so alive
When you’re the love of my life meeting for the first time

Verse 2:
I’ll show you all our pictures, tell you stories ’bout our song
How we danced beneath the stars and loved each other all night long
You smile like you believe me, though the memories won’t stay
And honey, that’s alright, ’cause I fall deeper either way

Pre-Chorus:
Your eyes still hold that wonder, that beautiful surprise
And I get to watch you fall in love right before my eyes

Chorus:
‘Cause loving you is like falling all over again
Every sunrise brings a brand new chance to let you in
When you forget my name, I’ll be right here to say
I’m the one who’s loved you since forever and a day
Every moment’s precious, every touch feels so alive
When you’re the love of my life meeting for the first time

Bridge:
They say true love remembers, but what they don’t understand
Is I’d choose you in every lifetime, I’d still reach for your hand
Memory fades but this heart knows, you’re written in my soul
And I’ll keep choosing you, baby, ’til we both grow old

Final Chorus:
‘Cause loving you is like falling all over again
Every sunrise brings a brand new chance to let you in
When you forget my name, I’ll be right here to stay
I’m the one who’s loved you since forever and a day
Every moment’s sacred, every kiss feels so right
When you’re the love of my life meeting for the first time

Outro:
Yeah, you’re the love of my life
Meeting for the first time
Every single time

This song is about the beauty and heartbreak of loving someone through memory loss, while celebrating that love’s power to transcend everything. Written for my cousins Robert and Jeannie
