For the Very First Time
Bobby Goldsboro
Words and music by Dennis "Terry Cashman" Minogue and Gene Pistilli
-From "We Gotta Start Lovin'"-United Artists UAS 6777
-Minogue (as Cashman) also wrote many baseball-related songs like "Willie,
-Mickey, & the Duke" and "Earl Of Baltimore"
Anywhere that you go I'll follow along
I'd be a fool to keep on singin' my own song
I never thought about love up until now
I guess it's time I started learnin' how
CHORUS
You smiled at me and "give in" swelled inside my mind
For the very first time
I thought of lovin' things I want them to be yours and mine
For the very first time I find myself in love
"Ain't no such thing as always" I used to say
But now that I've found you, here is where I'll always stay
You know how much I need you, I know myself
I'd rather miss you, darlin', than be with someone else
CHORUS
Anywhere that you go I'll follow along
FADE
Anywhere that you go I'll follow along

Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away
I orchestrated paradise, couldn’t make you stay
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I’m doin’ fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
The two of us together felt nothin’ but right
Feeling near immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I’m doin’ fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
I don’t talk to you too much these days
I just thank the lord pictures don’t fade
I spent time with an angel just passing through
Now all that’s left is this image of you
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I’m doin’ fin
