THE FIRST TIME

When you wake up
And it's cold outside
So you dream
It's not the first time
That you wake up
And the world outside
Disappears in the lights
It's not the first time

It's not the first time
You wake up
You wake up
You wake up
And it's cold outside
So you dream
And you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
You raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by

You wake up
And you feel like a child
And your thoughts run wild
It's not the first time
That you wake up
You feel a song inside
And you dream
It's not the first time

It's not the first time
You wake up
You wake up
You wake up
And you're sad inside
So you dream
And you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
Said you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by

And we burn with a fine, pure love
And a fire
We are electric
We are flesh and desire
And we burn with a fine, pure love
And a fire
We are electric
We are flesh and desire
It's not the first time

It's not the first time
You wake up
You wake up
You wake up
And it's cold outside
So you dream
And you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
Said you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
Said you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
Said you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by

And we burn with a fine, pure love
Yes we burn with a fine, pure love
And we burn with a fine, pure love
Yes we burn with a fine, pure love
