Don't think you're the first In the whole universe To follow your heart Or gaze at the stars To stare at the night To the clear daylight Don't think you're the first In the whole universe To feel sorrow or shame As you walk in the rain Do I love you? Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you So don't think you're the first In the whole universe To be caught in the act Numbered and wrecked Put in your place Made to feel like a fake Don't think you're the first In the whole universe To be untouched by the time Think you're one of the kind Do I love you? Yes I love you or i wouldn't tell you So don't think you're the first Don't think you're the first In the whole universe To dance with the light From the meak to the might As the birds in the trees Sing their sweet melodies Don't think you're the first In the whole universe To hear a thousand violins As the trial begins Do I love you? Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you So don't think you're the last To be tied to the mast While you watch from afar As your world falls apart You hang on for help But the rest help themselves Don't think you're the last To be tied to the past While you future's controlled While the present untold Do I love you? Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you So don't think you're the first
