Are those your eyes, is that your smile? I've been lookin' at you forever But I never saw you before Are these your hands holdin' mine Now I wonder how I could have been so blind For the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are I can't believe how much I see When you're lookin' back at me Now I understand what love is, love is For the first time 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 was right in front of me For the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are I can't believe how much I see When you're lookin' back at me Now I understand what love is, love is For the first time Such a long time ago I had given up on findin' this emotion ever again But you live with me now Yes I've found you somehow And I've never been so sure And for the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are I can't believe how much I see When you're lookin back at me Now I understand why love is, love is For the first time
