(Matt Andersen, Donovan Woods)
NOW I’VE BEEN IN LOVE
A TIME OR TWO
BUT IT ALL FADES TO GREY
WHEN COMPARED WITH YOU
RIGHT FROM THE START
AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH
IT’S THE EASIEST THING
THAT I’LL EVER DO
WHAT WE GOT NOW
IT WAS ALL WORTH THE WAIT
I GUESS WE’VE BOTH MADE A COUPLE MISTAKES
THEY BROUGHT ME TO YOU, SO I WON’T TAKE THEM BACK
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
IF YOU WALKED UP TO ME
WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN
I’D HAVE DRIVEN YOU HOME
IN MY OLD MAN’S CAPRI
IF I LAID EYES ON YOU
WHEN I WAS TWENTY TWO
I WOULD HAVE SOLD MY GUITAR
AND BOUGHT A RING FOR YOU
WHAT WE GOT NOW
IT WAS ALL WORTH THE WAIT
AND I GUESS WE’VE BOTH MADE A COUPLE MISTAKES
THE PAST IS THE PAST AND WE’RE NOT GOING BACK
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
‘CAUSE I LOVE WHAT YOU ARE
AND I LOVE WHAT YOU’RE NOT
YES I LOVE WHAT YOU GIVE
AND I LOVE WHAT YOU’VE GOT
MAKING YOU HAPPY
IS NEVER THAT HARD
‘CAUSE YOU’VE GOT LOVE IN YOUR EYES
YOU’VE GOT JOY IN YOUR HEART
WHAT WE GOT NOW
IT WAS ALL WORTH THE WAIT
THANK GOD THAT I FOUND YOU
BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE
THE REST OF OUR LIVES IS ALL THAT WE HAVE
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
IF YOU WERE MY FIRST LOVE, YOU WOULD’VE BEEN MY LAST
YOU’RE NOT MY FIRST LOVE, BUT YOU’RE GONNA BE MY LAST
