You know I won't forget The times we shared together holding hands And walking in the park Sometimes we'll have to do it all again We were so happy then I have no regrets Can't you tell from the look on my face That I love you more today The first time I looked into your eyes I cried Do you remember the first time we fell in love You looked into my eyes Wiped the tears away the first time When we fell in love Although some time has passed I still remember just like it was yesterday But time is movin' fast The love I had for you time won't ever change I'll always feel the same Now until the end Memories we share will live forever Deep inside my heart I know I'll never forget The first time I looked into your eyes I cried Do you remember the first time we fell in love You looked into my eyes Wiped the tears away the first time When we fell in love The first time I looked into your eyes I cried Do you remember the first time we fell in love You looked into my eyes Wiped the tears away the first time When we fell in love Oh, when we fell in love
