The First Time

Some memories stay with us from long ago
Some memories fade for us all of us know
Deep in my heart
One I always will see –
The first time you told me
You’d be with me

Walking alone hand in hand on the beach
Feeling the touch of a soft ocean breeze
Looking at stars on a warm summer eve
The first time you told me
You’d be with me

Seasons of color and snow have gone by
Days to remember or not over time
Many with laughter and some with some tears
Still full of love for us over the years

Some memories stay with us from long ago
Some of them fade for us all of us know
Deep in my heart
One I always will see
The first time you told me
You’d be with me
