and then there came the day when I found you 
 then heaven came to earth and you were my angel, 
 I fell in love with you 
 no one but you 
 and suddenly I saw the change that came into your eyes 
 I feel you were afraid to tell me why 
 I thought this thing called love would be forever, 
 I thought our love was true 
 and now the pain of losing you 
  
 (chorus) 
 If you never know just what you mean, 
 you are my first love 
 if you never know, 
 you're everything 
 you are my first love 
  
 tell me how a thing that brings such joy can bring such pain 
 and how could something so wrong seem so right 
 we never had the chance to make it get better 
 we never said goodbye 
 I never wanna feel the pain of losing love again, 
 'cause love just has a way of breaking down, 
 next time I'm gonna pray that this will be better 
 the second time around, 
 so here's to love that's lost and found 
  
 I won't cry, no, I won't break down 
 even though inside it hurts so bad 
 next time I will make love last 
 though you will always have a plave in my heart 
  
 (chorus) 
 if you never know just what you mean, 
 you are my first love 
 if you never know, 
 you're everything 
 you are my first love 
  
 my first love, no one could ever take your place, no, no
