"When I found you, my eyes opened to my wants...
        my desires...my needs...
        I know for once in my entire life what I really want...
        I've never felt this sure of anything...
        I can't imagine me without you now....
        and if I can't have you,
        then I couldn't ever be happy again...
        What's it all worth?...
        What's my life worth?..."

        Intro:  C  F  C  G (2x)
        
        
        
                               C        F
        
        Are those your eyes?
        
                            G     F-G
        
        Is that your smile?
        
                       C                        F  
        
        I've been looking at you forever,
        
                 Dm                     G
        
        Yet I never saw you before.
        
                               C         F
        
        Are these your hands?
        
                     G     F-G
        
        Holding mine?
        
                    Am               D7                          G
        
        Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.
        
                           C           F       
        
        And for the first time
        
               Am       C         G     
        
        I am looking in your eyes.
        
                     C                 F        G
        
        For the first time I'm seeing who you are.
        
                   F                           Fm
        
        I can't believe how much I see,
        
                             C                    Am
        
        When you're looking back at me.
        
                  C                       F
        
        Now I understand what love is,
        
        G
        
        Love is...
        
                    C              F  C  G  C
        
        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!
        
        And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
        
        For the first time, I'm seeing who you are.
        
        I can't believe how much I see,
        
        When you're looking back at me.
        
        Now I understand what love is...
        
        Love is...
        
        For the first time.
        
        
                    F
        
        Such a long time ago,
        
                                                       C        F
        
        I had given up on finding this emotion,
        
                   C
        
        Ever again.
        
                         D
        
        But you're here with me now,
        
                 D7
        
        Yes I found you somehow,
        
                      G                   A7
        
        And I've never been so sure.
        
                    D          G
        
        For the first time
        
                Bm                   A
        
        I am looking in your eyes,
        
                    D                  G       A7
        
        For the first time I'm seeing who you are,
        
                     G                       Gm
        
        Can't believe how much I see,
        
                             D                    Bm
        
        When you're looking back at me.
        
                   D                      G
        
        Now I understand what love is...
        
        A7
        
        Love is...
        
                    D          G  D  A
        
        For the first time.
        
                    D
        
        For the first time.
