Our First Kiss

Lyrics and Chords by Nick Stafford, 11 June 2024

In the moonlight’s gentle glow,
On a night so long ago,
We shared a moment pure and true,
The first kiss between me and you.
A spark ignited in the night,
A love so deep, a love so bright.
Your lips met mine, the world stood still,
A promise made, a heart to fill.

(Chorus)
Like a rose among the thorns,
My love for you has only grown.
With every breath, with every sigh,
You’re the apple of my eye.
Our first kiss, a sacred sign,
A love divine, forever mine.

(Verse 2)
In the garden of our love,
Under stars that shine above,
We’ve walked through years, both joy and pain,
Yet my love for you remains the same.
Your eyes, so kind, so soft and bright,
Your voice, my song, my pure delight.
Together we’ve built dreams anew,
A life so rich, a love so true.

(Chorus)
Like a rose among the thorns,
My love for you has only grown.
With every breath, with every sigh,
You’re the apple of my eye.
Our first kiss, a sacred sign,
A love divine, forever mine.

(Bridge)
My beloved, you are mine,
In your love, I find the divine.
Your embrace, a haven sweet,
Our hearts in perfect rhythm beat.
For twenty years, we’ve danced this dance,
In love’s eternal, blessed trance.

(Chorus)
Like a rose among the thorns,
My love for you has only grown.
With every breath, with every sigh,
You’re the apple of my eye.
Our first kiss, a sacred sign,
A love divine, forever mine.

(Outro)
And as we journey step by step,
To the rhythm our hearts have kept,
I’ll cherish every kiss, every touch,
For my love for you is endless,
My heart, forever yours to hold,
A love story endlessly told.
