On the First Day - Leon Russell

On the first day

You came to me so long ago

With empty hands and broken heart

And I loved you from the start

On the first day

When your other man controlled you

I had to look away

Pretend I didn’t see

All the new ways

I saw you through the eyes of a child

The songs you sang just took my heart away

Now I sit and think of you

And the first day

I always said that I would never wed

But we were special in this crazy world

And love was born the day we met

On the first day

You didn’t seem to hear me say

Now don’t go crazy all the way

Now you’re laughing as you walk away

On the last day
