For The First Time lyrics
by Phil Collins
[JANE] (sung)
This affection I feel is hard to understand
It's not the way I planned
My world is changing
Wherever I turn, it's his face I see
Looking back at me
And in my eyes, I can't disguise
The affection I feel
Is getting the better of me
Oh, for the first time, it's not a dream
Oh, for the first time, it seems so real
That I want to remember
Every moment
That I'm there beside him
When he gently takes my hand
So here I am
Feeling things I've never felt
And all because of him,
My world is changing
[TARZAN]
She's turned my whole world upside down
[JANE]
Everything that I do, I do to catch his eye
Well and I won't deny
I stand here guilty
[TARZAN]
I wonder if she feels the same
[JANE, & TARZAN]
Is this affection (as) I feel
Has gotten the better of me
So for the first time, can this be love?
Oh for the first time, I know it's real
[JANE]
And with him I feel
[JANE, & TARZAN]
So completely
Uniquely like no other (She's like no other)
As he gently holds me close
[JANE]
But wait a minute
What am I saying?
[TARZAN]
Never thought no
[JANE]
I never thought
On a scale so grand
[TARZAN]
To be feeling
[JANE]
Are these emotions racing through me?
Tell me I must, tell me I can
[TARZAN]
I never felt these things
[JANE, & TARZAN]
I'm finding who I am
'Cause for the first time
[JANE]
I have no doubt
[TARZAN]
These things she does
[JANE, & TARZAN]
'Cause for the first time
I understand (try to understand)
Yes for the first time, I realise
That all the things they strange/separate happened
Well they're happening to me
[JANE]
Every time I'm with that man,
[TARZAN]
Every time I'm with her
[JANE]
Every time I'm with,
[TARZAN]
Could I be
[JANE, & TARZAN]
That man
