[Lyrics from HMV Empire Live Performance]

I thought it would feel different, playing Wembley
80,000 singing with me
It's what I've been chasing
'Cause this is the dream

When it was all over, I cleared out the room
Grabbed a couple beers, just me and you
And then we started talking, the way that we do

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh but I remember
The first kiss, the first night
The first song that made you cry

The first dance, in moonlight
In your parents garden, I
Still feel, the first fight
But we both made it out alive
And I can't wait to make a million more first times

Mmm, mmm

The greatest thing that I have achieved
Is four little words, down on one knee
You said "Darling, are you joking"
And I just said "Please"

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh but I remember
The first kiss, the first night
The first song that made you cry

The first look, in your eyes
When I said I love you, I
Still feel, the butterflies
When we stumbled home that night
I can't wait to make a million more first times

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh but I remember
The first kiss, the first night
The first song that made you cry

The first drink, red wine
On a step in Brooklyn, I
Can't wait, to see
Everything that's yet to be
Our first child
And a million more first times

Ed Sheeran is a singer/songwriter who was born in Halifax, England but was raised in Suffolk, England. He’s known for his energetic live shows, which involve him using a loop pedal and sometimes throwing some raps in for good measure.

Ed’s success story began with him playing music in older people’s homes. He first was picked up by a record producer when busking in the USA. He performed nearly a thousand gigs and street performances before getting the recognition he deserved. Unsigned projects such as Loose Change and Songs I Wrote with Amy relied on the production of long-term collaborator Jake Gosling and signaled the start of their hugely successful musical relationship. Soon he’d made countless industry friends.

Teaming up with some of the biggest names in UK grime – Wiley, Ghetts, Jme and more – he released the No. 5 Collaborations Project in January 2011, and it reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart. One of the songs, “Little Lady” (feat. Mikill Pane), was a fan favourite, so Ed made a more radio-friendly solo version entitled “The A Team” and the rest is history. The song now has over a million sales in the UK and two million in the US.
