Just Like the First Time
Eternal Love's Echo: Rediscovering Romance Every Day
Lyrics
Those places in my mind are never hard to find
Reflecting on memories that are easily accessible in my thoughts
And where it all began
Recalling the starting point or origin of something significant
Such golden memories
Treasured and valuable recollections
I hope will never change
Expressing a desire for those cherished memories to remain constant
A face of innocence
A countenance of purity and lack of guile
The girl I asked to dance
Remembering inviting a girl to dance
At only seventeen
Referring to a specific age (seventeen) in the past
Though my show was soon undone
Acknowledging that a personal endeavor was unsuccessful
I knew you were the one
Recognizing a connection with the person despite the setback
You don’t know me now
Pointing out a lack of current familiarity
But in some way, somehow
Believing that a connection exists in some manner or form
Maybe there’s a moment you are mine
Contemplating a moment in the past when the person was significant
So I hope you fall in love again each day
Expressing a wish for the person to continuously experience love
Just like the first time
Desiring a recurring experience of falling in love akin to the first time
I’ll never have too much
Ensuring that expressions of affection are never excessive
Your smile your tender touch
Highlighting the significance of the person's smile and gentle touch
A thousand times a day
Wishing for frequent moments of emotional connection
But when the morning comes I’ll be the face you see
Becoming the first thought in the morning for the person
As tides may ebb and flow
Acknowledging the natural fluctuations in life
Your thoughts may come and go
Recognizing the transient nature of thoughts
But you are not alone
Assuring the person that they are not alone in their experiences
Let’s live the here and now
Encouraging living in the present moment
As long as the fates allow
Expressing a commitment to be present as long as circumstances permit
You don’t know me now
Reiterating a lack of current recognition
But in some way, somehow
Maintaining a belief in a connection, even if not currently apparent
Maybe there’s a moment you are mine
Reflecting on a potential moment when the person belonged to the speaker
So I hope you fall in love again each day
Expressing a desire for the person to continuously experience love
Just like the first time
Reiterating the wish for a repeated experience of falling in love
I hope you fall in love again each day
Repeating the hope for the person to fall in love daily
I’ll be there for you in every way
Promising to be supportive in every way
So I hope you fall in love again each day
Reiterating the hope for the person to fall in love daily
Just like the first time
Emphasizing the desire for a love experience reminiscent of the first time
