For the First Time
Rediscovering Love: Gene Watson's Serenade to New Beginnings
Lyrics
For the first time in a long time
Expressing a significant period has passed since a particular event occurred.
I want the sunshine to shine on me
Desiring positivity and happiness, metaphorically represented by sunshine.
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
Expressing a desire for nature to be aware of and respond to the individual's presence.
And I want your love all over me.
Expressing a desire for the profound and encompassing experience of being loved.
Ten years ago I guess you know
Reflecting on a past event that occurred a decade ago.
I gave my heart and my hand
Indicating a commitment by giving one's heart and hand in a relationship.
But she left me here to grieve but never know
Expressing feelings of abandonment and sorrow due to a past relationship.
All my days have been like nights
Describing a prolonged period of emotional darkness and hardship.
My nights have been long days
Highlighting the emotional toll of enduring nights filled with emotional pain.
But when I saw you I knew I'd love again.
Finding renewed hope and the prospect of love upon encountering a new person.
For the first time in a long time
Reiterating the theme of experiencing something positive after a long period.
I want the sunshine to shine on me
Repeating the desire for sunshine, symbolizing a wish for happiness.
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
Reiterating the desire for a connection with nature and the world.
And I want your love all over me.
Reiterating the profound desire for love and its transformative power.
For the first time in a long time
Emphasizing the rarity of positive experiences after a long duration.
I want the sunshine to shine on me
Reiterating the wish for sunshine and its symbolic representation of joy.
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
Reiterating the desire for a meaningful connection with nature.
And I want your love all over me.
Reiterating the profound desire for love and its all-encompassing nature.
For the first time in a long time.
Concluding the sentiment of experiencing something positive after a prolonged period.
