For the First Time – Kenny Loggins
Tabbed by Mike Hockett
Capo +1
Intro:
        
Are those your eyes, is that your smile 
I've been lookin’ at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin’ mine? 
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
Chorus I:
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein’ who you are 
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is
Love is... for the first time   
Can this be real, can this be true 
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange, how can it be 
All along this love was right in front of me
Chorus I:
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein’ who you are 
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is
Love is... for the first time   
Bridge:
Am7 (Em)
Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin’ this emotion... ever again  
But you live with me now
Yes I've found you somehow
And I've never been so sure 
Chorus II:
A Bm7 A G (play high string on 5th fret)
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are 
D/F# Dm/F (kind of A walk down)
Can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me 
Now I understand why love is 
Love is... for the first time
