"First Girl"

I used the horrible “life/wife” rhyme way too much in some of my early songwriting.

It wasn't until nearly halfway through my senior year of high school that I finally started seriously dating someone. I must have been world's most incompetent boyfriend. I hope she has since found it in her heart to forgive my awkwardness. This song doesn't begin to capture the overwhelming feelings that accompany first love.

First girl: you never forget her

First girl: from the moment you met her

She's the turning point in your life

You dream of her as your wife

First girl: you never forget your first girl

You met her in high school

You had a first date

You didn't even kiss her

Didn't stay out late

You called up your best friend

You were so excited

You had to tell someone about your night

You got your first girl: you never forget her

First girl: from the moment you get her

She's the turning point in your life

You thought she might be your wife

First girl: you never forget your first girl

You dated a few times

Then began going steady

You didn't make love

Till you both were ready

Every new feeling seemed like a dream

You were so happy when you were seen

With your first girl: oh, she's so special

First girl: she's so remarkable

First girl: she's unforgettable

First girl: She's incredible!

First girl: you never forget her

First girl: from the moment you met her

She's the turning point in your life

You dream of her as your wife

First girl: you never forget your first girl

When you broke up it was painful to both

But it had to happen so you both could grow

The nights of crying

The days of dreaming

You never forget the funny feeling

For your first girl
