A7       D                    B7                 G    Em7
For the first time, for the first time, I'm in love;

          A7                 Em7        Edim       D
For the first time, for the first time, I've found hap - pi - ness.

         Am7             B7            Cdim   Em
From the mo - ment I saw you, I was in rap - ture;

      E7       Bm7-5    E7    Bm7-5         A7
Ev'ry mo - ment after that, I live in the clouds.


A7       D                    B7                 G    Em7
For the first time, for the first time, I can thrill;

        A7         Em7      A7    C#m7-5    F#7     
For the first time, I love you and al - ways will.

           Em        B+           F#7
You're the first one,    yes, the first one,

          G      G/F#     E7
You're my one and on - ly one,

A7        D                 E7          A7      D
For the first time, for the first time, I'm in love.
