[Verse 1]

Are those your eyes? Is that your smile?

I been looking at you forever

Yet I never saw you before

Are these your hands holding mine?

Now I wonder how I could have been so blind


[Chorus]

And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes

For the first time, I'm seeing who you are

I can't believe how much I see

When you're looking back at me

Now I understand what love is, love is

For the first time

Oh yeah


[Verse 2]

Can this be real? Can this be true?

Am I the person I was this morning?

And are you the same you?

It's all so strange, how can it be?

All along this love was right in front of me


[Chorus]

And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes

For the first time, I am seeing who you are

I can't believe how much I see

When you're looking back at me

Now I understand what love is, love is

For the first time


[Bridge]

Such a long time ago

I had given up on finding this emotion

Ever again

But you're here with me now

Yes I found you somehow

And I've never been so sure


[Chorus]

For the first time, I am looking in your eyes

For the first time, I'm seeing who you are

Can't believe how much I see

When you're looking back at me

Now I understand what love is, love is

For the first time

For the first time
