First Time I Saw You

First time I saw you

I saw crimson, I saw dark blue

Saw the ocean we would drive to

To say our goodbyes

I saw winter, I saw new moons

Saw a heavyhearted bridegroom

Saw the color of your bedroom

In the whites of your eyes

Don’t ask me how I knew

Was the first time I saw

First time I saw you

I saw somebody that I knew

I recognized you

From our first glance

See I seen my share of counterfeits

And I used to have ‘em hang around a bit

But once you seen yourself a genuine

There ain’t no going back

Don’t ask me how I knew

Was the first time I saw you

Last time I saw you

By the ocean like we both knew

Now I guess that I’m supposed to

Tell you that I’m doing fine

But it was the last time that I held a hand

Was the last time that I gave a damn

I don’t think I’ll ever understand

Why I never found the time

I saw crimson, I saw dark blue

Last time that I saw you

And the last time that I saw those two

Was the first time I saw you
