I remember the way you looked at me The way you licked your lips lit a fire inside

And baby, I remember how soft and sweet you kissed After all of these years, I pray that I was missed

They say your first love is your best love And for me, it's the greatest love of all

I still remember your number And I'm a strong man, but I'm still afraid to call

I see the smile I remember when you were just a girl

I know what I lost when I look inside your world I see your new life deep inside your eyes

I'm a strong man, but even strong men aren't allowed to cry

Baby, I still remember that night at the county fair How I told you that I loved you as I won that fuzzy bear

Baby, I still remember that look inside your eyes When I gently wiped a tear falling as you cried

They say your first love is a strong love And for me, it's the greatest love of all

For you, I climbed the highest mountain And I'm a strong man, but baby, I'm afraid to fall

I see your smile inside your little girl I know what I lost when I look inside your world

I see your new life deep inside your eyes I'm a strong man, but even strong men aren't allowed to cry

Oh, baby, do you remember the promise you swore to me That nothing would ever make you wanna leave

I realize what time can do to love But all these memories don't seem to be enough

They say your first love should be your last love And I can't argue with that

Sometimes your first love should stay your first love And keep your feelings in the past

I see your smile inside your little girl I know what I lost when I look inside your world

I see your new life deep inside your eyes I'm a strong man, but even strong men aren't allowed to cry

I'm a strong man, but even strong men aren't allowed to cry
