First Love Songtext
von Larnelle Harris

I′m somewhere way past lonely
And I'm thinking about the way it used to be
When my life was so full and free
Don′t remember leaving
But looking back I've come a long, long way
I guess what I'm trying to say

Thought I was a captive
With no freedom of my own
But the further I travelled
The more I long for home

I′m going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
Well I never should′ve walked away
Look at where my heart's been
Every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that′s waiting up ahead
I gotta' go back to my first love


You know I can′t explain it
How the Father always seems to know
This struggle within my soul
Although He could've held on
His love was strong enough to set me free
Without letting go of me

Don′t know how He found me
In this barren desert land
Springs of living water
Are calling me again

I'm going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
I never should've walked away
Look at where my heart′s been
How every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that′s waiting up ahead
I gotta' go back to my first love

Seems every star in the sky
Has been waiting for this day
They dance through the heavens
Leading the way (leading the way)
Leading the way


I′m going back to my first love
For the fire burns and my heart still yearns
To go back to my first love
I never should've walked away
Look at where my heart′s been
Every road just seemed to end
But to find the peace that's waiting up ahead
I gotta′ go back to my first love (back to my first love)

Back to my first love
Back to my heart (back to my first love)
Back to my love
Back to where it started (back to my first love)
Well, back, back, back to my first love (back to my first love)
Oh-oh yeah, hey
