In a little while
I'll be on my way
Got no words to express
What I need to say

Everytime I think about the first time
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go

It's just not my style
Something I can't do
After all this time
I'm scared of losing you

Everytime I think about the first time
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go

Is there anything
You could let me know
Surely you could find me
A reason not to go

Everytime I think about the first time
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go

After everything
We've been going through
I'm so up and down
So dizzy and blue

Everytime I think about the first time
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go

Let me one more time
Look into your eyes
I remember when
There were no goodbyes

Everytime I think about the first time
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
