I'm in Love for the Very First Time

I often used to wonder

What the fuss was all about

When they told me how exciting love can be

And I used to smile politely

Though I hadn't any doubt

It was something that would never bother me

Then all at once it happened

Like a bolt out of the blue

And it hit me and knocked me nearly flat

And that was that

Beat the drum

Bang the gong

Let the golden wedding bells chime

My heart's a-flutter

I'm walking on air

I'm in love for the very first time

Turn me loose

Set me free

I've no use for reason or rhyme

I'm hazy, crazy, but what do I care?

I'm in love for the very first time

I thought that I was freer than the birdie in the sky

Then you passed by - and wham! before I knew it

I was really going through it

Like a fish on a hook

With that dreamy, far away look

I'm as mad as a hatter

But what does it matter

Let me live and love and laugh and be merry

I'm in love for the very first time

And what a lovely feelin'

Sort of floatin' to the ceilin'

Like a bubble or a toy balloon

And it's a lot of fun

When the day is done

And you're sittin' under the moon

And isn't it surprising

That your temperature keeps rising

Though the weather may be cold and gray

And though the sun has gone

No matter what goes on

It's a lovely, lovely day

Like a fish on a hook

With that dreamy, far away look

I'm as mad as a hatter

But what does it matter

Let me live and love and laugh and be merry

I'm in love

I'm in love

For the very, very first time

I'm in love!
