The First Time


I just got back from Iraq
I was on my way home
I could have taken a train
I could have taken a plane
Just my luck I took the bus
I saw you sitting there all alone
talking to someone on the cellphone
who would have known back then
you would fall.. for a girl in a uniform... now it's

something borrowed something blue
it was love the first time I saw you
something old something new
it was love the first time I saw you
it was love the first time
oh...whoa....the first time I saw you.....

Now I wear that diamond ring you got me
I will never forget those memories …....
of how we first met when......

I could have taken a train
I could have taken a plane
Just my luck I took the bus
I saw you sitting there all alone
talking to someone on the cellphone
who would have known back then
you would fall.... for a girl in a uniform...

whoa...oh.......now it’s been..............


something borrowed something blue
it was love the first time I saw you
something old something new
it was love the first time I saw you
it was love the first time
oh...whoa....the first time I saw you.....

yeah baby.... it was love the first time I saw you...
