Are those your eyes, is that your smile?
I've been lookin' at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin' mine

Now I wonder how I could have been so blind

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is 
For the first time

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

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is 
For the first time

Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin' this emotion ever again
But you live with me now
Yes I've found you somehow
And I've never been so sure

And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is, love is 
For the first time
