The First Time It Happens

The first time you see her
No boat from the blue
Just something so quiet
That's waiting for you
With no one to tell you
Where you gotta go
The first time it happens you know

The first time you see her
No magical change
No angels appearing
No dreams to arrange
Just warmer and colder
Than spring-time or snow
The first time it happens you know

And so you fall at how complete it is
And for each moment that it lasts, how sweet it is
The first time together
How simple, how rare
And just when you thought you'd forgot how to care
And though you feel much more than you dare to show
The first time it happens you know

And so you fall at how complete it is
And for each moment that it lasts, how very sweet it is
The first time together
How simple, how rare
And just when you'd thought you forgot how to care
And though you feel so much more than you dare to show
The first time it happens
The very first time that it happens
The first time it happens
You know
