The First Time Lyrics

It's not a place I choose to be A dinner dance, high society

But now the music's underway What's a Geordie doing ballroom dancing anyway

And in I jump with two left feet And we laugh, we trip, we touch

It's the start of nothing much The first time

As the band begins to play I take your hand into the fray

I make the hold, I lead the way You joke, I'm leading you astray

And though our timing's gone awry Somehow the time seems right

And we step into the night The first time

The first time

As the small talk ebbs away And I run out of things to say

We talk with deeper, stronger words Whispering in case we're overheard

And as we talk my world stands still And I'm falling into love

And it's never felt like this The first time

The first time

The first time

The first time

Now thinking straight I've lost my mind I wander off, leave you behind

I dance around, I catch your eye A fleeting glance, you pass me by

And you don't see my heart's not there Cos you've stolen it tonight

And it's never been so close The first time

The first time

The first time

And I've never been so close And I'm falling into love

And I've never felt like this And I never will again

The first time

The first time

The first time

The first time

The first time
