Everytime I meet you, I meet you for the first time
just as though we had never had met before
Everytime I kiss you, I kiss you for the first time
and my happy heart keeps begging you for more!
Everytime you thrill me, you thrill me for the first time
the moment is grand and the feeling is so brand new
Everytime you leave me, won't you take this thought along with you
I've fallen in love for the first and the last time too!
< instrumental break >
Everytime you leave me,
won't you take this thought along with you
I've fallen in love for the first and the last time too!
