First Love.
The moon shone down on earth that night
Bathed the world in it's silver light
Lit up the beach where two lovers lay
In their little love nest, just across the bay
Magic wove two beating hearts together
Promising love which would last forever
They made sweet love, then returned to the car
Tomorrow, this young soldier was heading for war
Many tears were shed between the two
Like diamonds glistening in the morning dew
Spirits down cast as they waved ''Goodbye''
Turning in home, she breathed a sigh
Nine long months later, he came home in a casket
As their newly born son, lay asleep in his basket
From now on life would be so much harder
Bringing up baby without his loving Father
Bathed the world in it's silver light
Lit up the beach where two lovers lay
In their little love nest, just across the bay
Magic wove two beating hearts together
Promising love which would last forever
They made sweet love, then returned to the car
Tomorrow, this young soldier was heading for war
Many tears were shed between the two
Like diamonds glistening in the morning dew
Spirits down cast as they waved ''Goodbye''
Turning in home, she breathed a sigh
Nine long months later, he came home in a casket
As their newly born son, lay asleep in his basket
From now on life would be so much harder
Bringing up baby without his loving Father
