On the first day of the year, my aim was so clear

I could see the line on the horizon

On the first day, on the first day

You were wearing a blue dress and a ribbon

And right there I swore (Forever and more)

On the first day, on the first day

And oh my heart, oh my heart

Fails every second, to the beating of the clock

Oh, the first words you said, like a bird in my head

I could swear that I was dreaming

On the first word, on the first word

Like the first love, oh the first love

On the first day, on the first day

But oh my heart, oh my heart
