The lights are low
And we're alone
The fire's glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please don't hesitate
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
The two of us, we're quite a pair
These lonely nights we both can share
So don't be shy, 'cause it's okay
I understand feeling that way
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time
It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
And we're alone
The fire's glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please don't hesitate
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
The two of us, we're quite a pair
These lonely nights we both can share
So don't be shy, 'cause it's okay
I understand feeling that way
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time
It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
