The Flame Of First Love

'Tis true that few first loves last a whole lifetime But the flame of first love never ever die The old man on looking back the years remembers She was my first love as a teenage boy. Oh she was beautiful as I remember With big blue eyes and curly locks of brown And all of the other young males felt quite jealous Of me the boyfriend of the prettiest girl in town. It grieved my heart when she left me for another And though my pain of loss was quick to fade away She hasn't aged and grown old in my memory Her hair still brown I don't see any gray. She fell in love and gave birth to and raised his children And to him proved a good and loving wife But long after first love has lost it's passion The flame just flickers on and on for life. The flame of first love lingers on a lifetime And on looking back the old man still recall She was my first love and her I still remember But not my very greatest love of all.
