For the First Time

There's somethin' sacred when you're 17

'Bout a football jacket and a high school ring

And it sure looked nice

When you wore mine

That late October at the homecoming dance

We slipped outside

And we took a chance

In the middle of the night

It sure felt right

We let go right then and there

We were loved and we were scared

For the first time

Loving blind, we dove right in

For the first time

We gave everything and then

Graduation came

And our dreams called our names

With broken hearts, we moved on with our lives

For the first time

Well I heard the other day

You're a Sunday school teacher, got the P.T.A.

Got a real good life

You're a real good wife

I'm livin' in this circus world

No I ain't married but I got a girl

And I'm her man

And we're makin' plans

But I still smile when I think of us

Together we learned how to love

For the first time

Loving blind, we dove right in

For the first time

We gave everything and then

Graduation came

And our dreams called our names

With broken hearts, we moved on with our lives

For the first time

Oh, graduation came

And our dreams called our names

With broken hearts, we moved on with our lives

For the first time

For the first time

Loving blind, we dove right in

For the first time

We gave everything and then

For the first time

We moved on with our lives

For the first time
