First Love

or Can You Name These Song References?

When I see your face, ¹

I drink in your eyes, ²

And all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow. ³

Everything seems different; ⁴

I pray to be only yours. ⁵

You make me happy when skies are gray. ⁶

I’m living in a daydream, ⁷

And no one is ever going to bring me down. ⁸

I’m yours to keep. ⁹

You save me from the dark. ¹⁰

You’re the only one I see. ¹¹

Where are you going? Can you take me with you? ¹²

You wouldn’t have to say that you love me. ¹³

But if you know what you want… ¹⁴

I don’t want to hold you back now. ¹⁵

Sunday morning, rain is falling. ¹⁶

The nights are long alone, ¹⁷

No one to comfort me or guide me. ¹⁸

Just me and my broken heart. ¹⁹

I stare at a picture of you ²⁰

And my heart is heavy. ²¹

Now the memories are on the wall. ²²

I wish, more than anything, ²³

That I won’t fall. ²⁴

But as the walls begin to tumble down, ²⁵

I let you go and let the lonely in. ²⁶

I need you, and I miss you. ²⁷

And I think to myself, ²⁸

“Hamerchák shebeynéynu hu ad.” ²⁹

(The distance between you and I is endlessness.)

But I can do it; I’ll get through it. ³⁰

I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be. ³¹

All I ask of you ³²

Is that you don’t forget me. ³³

Remember me once in a while. ³⁴

For if I could find a way to see this straight, ³⁵

The one thing that would never change ³⁶

Is that you are the best thing that’s ever been mine. ³⁷
