First Time Lyrics by Bobby Caldwell

Heart of Mine

1987

[Verse 1]
Wise men wait
They'll always put their trust in fate
Fools never take the time
For love to really grow
They just don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
And lonely dreamers
Wonder if they will ever find romance
My heart knew it
Till you shot your arrow thru it

[Chorus]
For the first time
Love is waiting at the door
I've never felt this before
Now I know the score
Darling for the first time, first time

[Verse 2]
No more nights
Of missing the essential things
You've brought back to my life
And everything you are, feels so right

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh lonely dreamer
Did you ever think we would find romance?
Lets get started, putting both are hearts into it!

[Chorus]
For the first time
Love is waiting at the door
There had to be something more
Now I know the score
Darling for the first time, first time

[Bridge]
I only want to do, the things that other lovers do
And if you feel the same put your arms around me
If your tired of being one who's just dreaming

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh lonely dreamers
Wonder if they will ever find romance
My heart knew it
Till you shot your arrow thru it

[Chorus Outro]
For the first time
I know what I've been searching for
Their had to be something more
Now I know the score
Darling for the first time
Love is waiting at the door
I've never felt this before
Now I know the score
Darling for the first time
