Goapele - First Love Lyrics






As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would win

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

One of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make it

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

Standing first in line
Standing, standing

    This woman gives me an Amel Larrieux and Vivian Green type of feel. I haven't heard this woman in a long time. I remember hearing this song when I was little but didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics. But that GUITAR BRIDGE PART??? OH MY GOD I was lured in IMMEDIATELY. It was one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard in my life and I've been introduced to some pretty deep R&B songs when I was little. It's shit like this that made me want to do music. It took me years to look for this song. I'm so glad I found it, for real <3 <3 <3 <3

  43. J.... H....

    I love this song it's my favorite song she sounds so amazing and looks so beautiful

    To the guitar player - I'm still chewing on them tasty chords.     And thanks for not stepping all over the vocals with a bunch of runs.    I love love love this live version.    Wish it was in HD. Edit Sept 2018 after not hearing this for years, I come back here and I'm floored at Errol playing at 2:59. That was some nice phrasing!! Bass man is mos def playing some sticky bass. I'll take this over the studio version ALL DAY.
