Lyrics

I've written words that say I'm leaving

Words express the pain

Old songs loose their meanings

But new ones they gain

From Changes that I've been through

New ones I'm coming to

You were my first song

And I still…

Sure I still get feelings

To get back on the road

And I still get leanings

To forget the things I know

About myself and changes

Gone through and coming to

And you were my first song

And I still…

Do words express true meanings

I mean the words I've still to sing

Old loves loose their feelings

But new ones they gain

Changes that I've been through

New ones I'm coming to

You were my first song

And I still…

Yes, you were my first song

And I still…

Yes, you were my first song

And I still…

You were my first song

And I still love you
