Lyrics

Are those your (Ab)eyes?

Is that your (Db)smile?

Am I’ve been (Ab)look ing at you for ev er, yet I (Bbm7)nev er saw you be fore.

Are (Eb)these your (Ab)hands

hold ing (Ab)mine?

Now I (Fm)won der how I (Db)could have been so (Ebsus)blind.

And for the (Ab)first time,

I am (Fm)look ing in your eyes.

For the (Ab)first time, I’m see ing who you are.

I can’t be lieve how much I see when you’re (Ab)look ing back at (Db)me.

Now I (Ab)un der stand what (Fm)love is, love is

(Eb)for the first time.

Can this be (Ab)real?

Can this be (Db)true?

Am I the (Ab)per son I was this morn ing, and are (Bbm7)you er the same be you?

It’s (Eb)all so (Ab)strange.

How it (Ab)be?

All a (Fm)long this love was (Db)right in front of (Ebsus)me.

And for the (Ab)first time,

I am (Fm)look ing in your eyes.

For the (Ab)first time, I’m see ing who you are.

I can’t be lieve how much I see when you’re (Ab)look ing back at (Db)me.

Now I (Ab)un der stand what (Fm)love is, love is

(Eb)for the first time.

Can this be time.

Such a (Bbm7)long time a go,

I had (Bbm7)giv en up on (Ebsus)find ing (Eb)this e mo tion

ev er a (Fm7)gain.

But you’re (D)here with me now.

Yes, I (G)found you some how,

and I’ve nev er been so sure.

And for the (Bb)first time,

I am (Gm)look ing in your eyes.

For the (Bb)first time, I’m see ing who you are.

I can’t be lieve how much I see when you’re (Bb)look ing back at (Eb)me.

Now I (Bb)un der stand what (Gm)love is,

love (Fsus)is for the first (Bb)time.
