[Verse 1]
Are those your eyes? Is that your smile?
I been looking at you forever
Yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
[Chorus]
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Can this be real? Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
It's all so strange, how can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me
[Chorus]
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I am seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
[Bridge]
Such a long time ago
I had given up on finding this emotion
Ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I found you somehow
And I've never been so sure
[Chorus]
For the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
For the first time
Are those your eyes? Is that your smile?
I been looking at you forever
Yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
[Chorus]
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Can this be real? Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
It's all so strange, how can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me
[Chorus]
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time, I am seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
For the first time

For the first time
For the first time
