For the First Time


written by Jud Friedman/Allen Rich/James Newton-Howard
performed by Rod Stewart
from the album: "if we fall in love tonight"

Are these 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.

**chorus**

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,
fot the first time.

**end chorus**

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 this love was right in front of me.

**chorus**

Such a long time ago,
I had given up on finding this emotion, ever again.
But you're here with me now.
Yes I've found you some how,
and I've never been so sure.

**chorus**

For the first time...........
