FIRST TIME (IT'S GOT TO BE!)
(Gemmell/McAndrew)

trying 'till the dawn, staging what goes on,
exchanging sons and daughters, drinking sparkling waters
losing but sides are gaining, oh little lady in waiting
she knows the sun will shine, i'll be yours and you'll be mine

FIRST TIME's got to be, yeah it's got to be perfect
hey FIRST TIME's got to be, yeah got to be perfect true love

father's late to rise, he's wiping the sweat from his eyes
ooh mother's joy is soaring, it's part of the story
too loud saying nothing, her empty pockets laughing
they know the sun will shine, i'll be yours and you'll be mine

FIRST TIME's got to be, etc

it's got to be perfect the FIRST TIME
it's got to be, it's got to be perfect

FIRST TIME's got to be, etc

i like to hear her voice, i made a good choice
not taking a chance on love, i know what i like
now brother ain't so sure of little ladies in waiting
he's loud saying nothing, what you have won't be long

FIRST TIME's got to be, etc

Comment:- This is a song by Charlie about weddings (autobiographical I think!!)
