For The First Time

by Gene Watson

C                  C7   F

For the first time in a long time

           G7                  C

I want the sunshine to shine on me

                       C7         F

I want those hillsides to feel me walking

      G7                      C

And I want your love all over me

Ten years ago I guess you know

I have my heart and my hand

    G7                                   C

But she left me here to grieve but never know

All my days have been like nights

My nights have been long days

    G7                             C

But when I saw you I knew I'd love again

                   C7   F

For the first time in a long time

           G7                  C

I want the sunshine to shine on me

                       C7         F

I want those hillsides to feel me walking

      G7                      C

And I want your love all over me
