I was seven

When he was ten

And it didn’t matter

I had a crush on him

He had a cabin

 Up at the lake

And he hung with my brother

As a way to escape

He was a little older

By few short years

So when he got a girlfriend

You can imagine my tears

The years slipped by

Maybe two or three

I was thirteen

When he came back to me

He came to the lake

His leg in a cast

My friend was all over him

And I heard this big splash

When I turned back to look

He was smiling at me

My heart skipped a beat

Is this what I’m thinking it could be

We all hung out

The rest of that day

We all slept in the barn

Snuggled down in the hay

When he reached for my hand

And said come with me

I knew in my heart

This was meant to be

We talked all night

Of places he’d been

Then he leaned down and kissed me

My first kiss from him

He’d come to the house

In the middle of the night

We’d go out four wheeling

Until day light

My mom didn’t like him

But I didn’t care

I would've followed him

No matter where

He was my first love

That is a fact

But eventually time

Would take care of that

When it was over

And we said our goodbyes

I couldn’t hold back

The tears in my eyes

I wouldn’t go back

And change one thing

For he was my first love

And he made my heart sing
