First Love Sealed

Verse 1

Met you in the fourth grade

I was nine and you were twelve

Little girl shy and innocent

You'd make me laugh till my sides would swell

Acting out a clown for me

Chasing every tear away

I'd catch your smile when you were low

And I'd hold that grin all through the day

Pre-Chorus

First love and I never knew

That you were feeling it too

Something growing slow and true

Underneath our young excuse

Chorus

Oh my first love

My first love

Never told you then

Never told you now

Verse 2

Middle school came rolling in

Nothing much had changed at all

We talked on the phone the whole night through

Fell asleep on the hallway hall

Then high school pulled me far away

New city new streets unknown

But you wouldn't let me go that day

So you packed and came along

Pre-Chorus

Life got busy got in the way

Lines got tangled up and frayed

We went separate one fine day

And I lost my words to say

Chorus

Oh my first love

My first love

Never told you then

Never told you now

Bridge

Next thing you knew I had a baby girl

Small and new and bright

Told you I was getting married

And you weren't the one in white

You tried and tried to talk it through

But I was stubborn as a bull

Shook my head and sighed and cried

While you stood there beautiful

Chorus

Oh my first love

My first love

Never told you then

Never told you now

Verse 3

Thirty years went tumbling by

Ups and downs and crooked roads

We keep finding each other in the crowd

Carrying unspoken loads

You don't wear a ring no more

I'm doing the family thing

You look at me and sigh real low

And my heart just starts to sing

Pre-Chorus

You'll never know how much I care

But I'll keep it safe in there

Secret that I'll never share

Love I swore I'd always wear

Chorus

Oh my first love

My first love

Never told you then

Never told you now

Outro

We hold a place inside each other

A little pocket warm and true

Who knows what tomorrow brings

Maybe hearts get pulled to you

It's not the end

No it's not the end

This story stays till hearts beat as one

And we're back together again

Oh it's not the end
