Lyric

Walking home, the setting sun was in my eyes

I realized my friend had gone, I was alone beneath the skies

Then I felt a shadow, he was walking close behind

He reached for my hand, and we started running, leaving the world behind

​We hid ourselves between the walls, a secret, tiny space

The silence was so heavy, blushing on each face

Our eyes met, and we smiled, then he leaned in slow and near

A soft, first kiss, chasing away all my fear

​He held me close, then let me go, but took my hand again

We started floating slowly, rising up into the air, above the rain

Such a happy feeling, I was soaring, truly glad

Is this how first love feels, the sweetest dream I’ve ever had?

​

​The next day, in the classroom, I saw him standing there

My eyes just followed him, caught in his golden hair

He noticed me at last, a bright smile on his face

He came right over, grabbed my hand, to an empty, secret place

​He never speaks a word, just this flirtatious, charming way

But I can't forget his smile, I search for him every day

How long will this feeling last, this beautiful, soft ache?

Does a faint first love just vanish, for goodness sake?

​

​Will these feelings linger on, only for me to bear?

Sometimes I wish the memory would simply disappear

It hurts so much inside, a bitter, painful wave

But when I see his face, it’s the only peace I crave

​When I’m alone, the sorrow comes, the painful feelings rush

Will I forget all this, when I’m an adult, in a quiet hush?

​

​He held me close, then let me go, but took my hand again

We started floating slowly, rising up into the air, above the rain

Such a happy feeling, I was soaring, truly glad

Is this how first love feels, the sweetest dream I’ve ever had?
