About My First Night With You

"My First Night with You" is a song written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Diane Warren. It was originally recorded by Canadian singer Deborah Cox for her self-titled debut studio album (1995). In 1998, American singer Mýa covered the song for her self-titled debut studio album, serving as the album's third and final single. The album version was produced by Daryl Simmons, allowing Mýa to put her own spin on the record, while the Ric Wake pop-produced version was marketed at pop and adult contemporary radio. The lyrics of the ballad speak of a non-sexual experience with a man. The song received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, some of whom noted the thinness of Mýa's voice. "My First Night with You" peaked at number 28 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. The song's accompanying music video was directed by G. Thomas Ferguson and University Music CEO Haqq Islam. It featured a cameo by Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs portraying Mýa's father.

Yesterday was not just another day
Not like before 
Yesterday I saw your smiling face 
Love walked through my door
One precious moment changed my life 
One tender kiss made everything right 
One touch from you and this world was mine 
It was in your arms where I found forever

Cried my first tears of joy last night 
Heaven shined a light 
All my dreams came true 
My first night with you

Felt the sun shine so bright on me 
Chased the rain from my heart 
Through the storm 
Through the darkest night 
I found my brightest star
One magic moment made one magic night 
I fell in love with one look in your eyes
babe I never knew I could feel so alive 
Darling in your arms, I could feel forever

Cried my first tears of joy last night 
Heaven shined a light 
All my dreams came true 
My first night with you

One precious moment changed my life 
One tender kiss made everything right, baby 
One touch from you and this world was mine 
It was in your arms where I found forever

Cried my first tears of joy last night 
Heaven shined a light 
All my dreams came true 
My first night with you (Repeat 2X)
