First Time
Discovering Love's Essence: Bobby Caldwell's First Time
Lyrics
Wise men wait,
Wise individuals exercise patience, trusting in destiny.
They'll always put their trust in fate.
They consistently rely on fate.
Fools never take the time,
Foolish people don't invest time for love to develop.
For love to really grow.
Love needs time to grow, but fools are unaware.
They just don't know.
They lack awareness of this fact.
And lonely dreamers,
Lonely dreamers ponder if they will ever experience romance.
Wonder if they will ever find romance.
Contemplation on the possibility of finding romantic love.
My heart knew it,
The speaker's heart understood it until someone (you) stirred emotions.
Till you shot your arrow through it.
Reference to being emotionally affected by an arrow of love.
For the first time,
Embracing the feeling of love for the first time.
Love is waiting at the door,
Love is present, awaiting recognition.
I've never felt this before.
The speaker is experiencing a novel and intense emotion.
Now I know the score.
Understanding and acknowledging the situation.
Darling for the first time,
Reiteration of the newfound love.
First time.
No more nights,
No more nights of missing essential aspects of life.
Of missing the essential things.
Reference to regaining important elements.
You've brought back to my life,
You brought back vitality, and everything feels right.
And everything you are, feels so right.
The qualities of the person align perfectly.
Oh lonely dreamer,
Lonely dreamers questioned the possibility of finding romance.
Did you ever think we would find romance?
Expression of doubt turning into motivation.
Lets get started, putting both are hearts into it!
Initiating a shared journey of love.
For the first time
Experiencing love for the first time.
Love is waiting at the door
Love is present, and there is a sense of expectation.
There had to be something more
A realization that there is more to explore in love.
Now I know the score.
Understanding the situation and its significance.
Darling for the first time, first time
I only want to do, the things that other lovers do.
Expressing a desire for shared experiences in love.
And if you feel the same put your arms around me.
Inviting physical closeness as a sign of mutual affection.
If your tired of being one who's just dreaming.
A call to break free from mere dreaming and embrace love.
Oh lonely dreamers wonder if they will ever find romance.
Reiteration of lonely dreamers' uncertainty about romance.
My heart knew it, till you shot your arrow through it.
The speaker's heart felt the impact of love's influence.
For the first time
Experiencing love and understanding its significance.
I know what I've been searching for
Realizing what has been the object of the search for love.
Their had to be something more
A recognition that there is more to love than initially thought.
Now I know the score
Understanding the situation and its implications.
Darling for the first time
Love is waiting at the door
Love is present and ready to be embraced.
I've never felt this before
Intense emotions are felt for the first time.
Now I know the score,
Understanding the situation and its significance.
Darling for the first time?
Reiteration of the speaker's experience of love for the first time.
