For The First Time (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by Esmeralda:) It could only have happened at this time and in this place A less experienced woman could even appreciate A man like you, the epitome Of every thing I dreamed you'd be Just like some kind of miracle right here in front of me And in the instant I saw you It's as if I recognized you I seemed to see inside you And I knew that you knew me too And oh! For the First Time I began to understand Oh! For the First Time My lonely days are at an end On this night a lucky star shone down on me Tonight a blind girl has learned how to see An angel's bell was heard to ring Or was that you I heard whispering? Well anyway, suddenly I see through brand new eyes A new feeling runs through me I can feel it oh so acutely A change is coming to me And there's an open door never seen before And oh! For the First Time I believe in happiness And Oh! For the First Time I'm accepting nothing less And Oh! For the First Time I know what it means to be alive Oh! For the First Time I've finally found the Reason Why I feel it growing much stronger And I can't hold it back very much longer Never think of returning His lips so close I can feel them burning Burning into mine, searing me Burning deep inside, when he is near me Burning up my pride, daring me To leave my fear far behind Every tear and heartache that had gone before I know now was just rain to make my spirit garden grow Those heartache blows, just like hammering Molded my soul till it began to sing Changing it to a place big enough to hold all this love And if it all ends tomorrow There could be no reason for sorrow For how could I ever quarrel With a destiny that has granted me Oh! For the First Time To be allowed to really feel Oh! For the First Time To have my reason be revealed And oh! For the First Time The meaning of the mystery Oh! For the First Time I'm understanding perfectly And oh! For the first time I begin to comprehend Oh! For the first time My lonely days are at an end At an end! At an end!
