[Verse 1: no backing singers]
I was just fourteen, sitting two rows over,
A shy young girl with a ribbon in her hair,
He was trying hard to look a little older,
But I'd catch him staring every chance he'd dare.
We'd pass little notes when the teacher wasn't looking,
And dream about a world beyond that schoolyard fence,
Back then we didn't know what life was bringing,
But somehow fate was writing every sentence.
instumental. 02 sec. drum lift only
[Chorus]
And I still remember that first kiss,
Underneath the stars by the old football field,
My heart was racing, my hands were shaking,
Like a secret only young love could reveal.
One sweet moment changed our lives forever,
We were just kids chasing dreams in the dark,
That first kiss started a fire.......
That's still burning in our hearts.
[Verse 2]
Friday nights and we'd take in a movie,
In the back row, then talking till the dawn,
Every day together has just been a wonder,
And every goodbye felt a little too long.
Then the years rolled by and life kept moving,
We built a home and raised a family tree,
Through every storm and every celebration,
He stood right beside me faithfully.
instrumental: 02 sec. drum lift only
[Chorus]
And I still remember that first kiss,
Underneath the stars by the old football field,
My heart was racing, my hands were shaking,
Like a secret only young love could reveal.
One sweet moment changed our lives forever,
We were just kids chasing dreams in the dark,
That first kiss started a fire......
That's still burning in our hearts.
[Bridge]
Now every five years at the class reunion,
We gather with the friends we used to know,
Some talk about the roads that led to heartbreak,
And the loves they lost so long ago.
Then they'll smile and point across the room,
And say, "You two are still going strong."
he pulls me close and whispers softly,
"Girl, with you is where I've always belonged."
instrumental:04 sec. BIG dum lift and fill.
[Final Chorus]
And I still remember that first kiss,
Like it happened only yesterday,
The years may leave their lines upon our faces,
But they can't take that memory away.
From a fourteen-year-old girl to my forever,
He's still the one that makes my whole world shine,
That first kiss was just the beginning,
And I'm thankful he's still mine.
