I want to be the first man you remember
I want to be the last man you forget
I want to be the one you'll always turn to
I want to be the one you won't regret
May I be the first to say you look delightful?
May I be the first to dance you 'round the floor?
The very first to see your face by moonlight?
The very first to walk you to your door?

Well young man, I'd be delighted
There is nothing I would rather do
What could be a sweeter memory
Than sharing my first dance with you?

I want to be the first man you remember
-The very first to sweep me off my feet
I want to be the one you'll always turn to
-The first to make my young heart miss a beat

Seems the stars are far below us
The moon has never felt this close before
(Or the sun to beam forever)?
And may it lead to many more

I want to be the first man you remember
-The very first to sweep me off my feet
I want to be the one you'll always turn to
The first to make your young heart miss a beat
-The very first
