about
Featuring special guest, Cyndi Lauper
lyrics
She never knew, she never knew
Or they would have been together
If she knew he loved her
There would have been more time
And before his parents ripped him from her arms
There could have been a few more moments behind the school
And this first love could have been true love
But he had to go
He looked for years, he looked for years
With never any whisper
And she wondered all that time
If he was ever real
So when he found her
One in a million through a song
He hesitated
But he couldn't wait for long
And this first love could have been true love
But he had to go
And she was taken by surprise
He came from nowhere
With stories of how he had missed her and thought of her
All this time
And she believed, yes she believed
That they should be together
It wouldn't be right to ignore the signs
And finding her had saved his life
But he had to confess he had a family and a wife
And this first love could have been true love
Yes maybe it would have been true love
But he had to go
Or they would have been together
If she knew he loved her
There would have been more time
And before his parents ripped him from her arms
There could have been a few more moments behind the school
And this first love could have been true love
But he had to go
He looked for years, he looked for years
With never any whisper
And she wondered all that time
If he was ever real
So when he found her
One in a million through a song
He hesitated
But he couldn't wait for long
And this first love could have been true love
But he had to go
And she was taken by surprise
He came from nowhere
With stories of how he had missed her and thought of her
All this time
And she believed, yes she believed
That they should be together
It wouldn't be right to ignore the signs
And finding her had saved his life
But he had to confess he had a family and a wife
And this first love could have been true love
Yes maybe it would have been true love
But he had to go
