Lyrics This Is The First Time - Cilla Black

This Is The First Time

In my time
I’ve watched my friends become lovers
I’ve had to learn
To live my life on my own
For long I’ve had a troubled mind
But I’ve put that behind
And now I know
This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I’ve really been strong
This is the first time
And it’s the last time
Look now you’ll see
All that you mean to me
In my time
I’ve been hung up with the wrong kind
The kind who build your hopes
Then let you down
I’ve lived too long in a shadow
Felt alone even in a crowd
But that’s all gone
This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I’ve really been strong
This is the first time
And it’s the last time
Look now you’ll see
All that you mean to me
It seemed I’d lost the thread of living
Everyone taking, no one giving
I turned down advice
I should have taken
But no longer can my dreams be taken
This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I’ve really been strong
This is the first time
And it’s the last time
Look now you’ll see
All that you mean to me
This is the first time
I feel I belong
This is the first time
I’ve really been strong
This is the first time
And it’s the last time
