The first girl I loved she was sweeter than an angel
She was everything my heart was yearning for
Other girls I’d known, could be hurtful or disdainful
She pulled at my heart and lifted me up from the floor
The first girl I loved was beautiful, no query
I thought that she was far beyond my reach
Before we met my life was dull and dreary
It took some nerve to reach out for the peach.

But we were only in our teens
What did we know of life
It would remain a hidden dream
That one day my first love might be my wife
Time moves on and the older I am getting
The more I find I’m looking to the past
And way back then what would have been the betting
That the first girl I loved would also be the last
So 50 years have raced away
And details get obscured
But one thing I am pleased to say
Is that our love has endured
The first girl I loved is standing here beside me
Or lying in my arms all through the night
The first girl I loved is always here to guide me
Keeping me safe and making everything alright.
Though we were only in our teens
I knew this much was true
My life would have a wondrous sheen
If I could just hold on to you
Time moves on and the older I am getting
The more I find I’m looking to the past
And way back then what would have been the betting
Slow to stop E
That the first girl I loved would also be the last
