about

"When you have the good fortune to cross paths with someone who has a true smile, clear eyes, and a lovely scent, do not simply pass her by. Stop, and tell her she is beautiful. Life is too short and precious to waste. You cannot lose. It may not be the right time for her; she may be having problems at work or in her private life, but at least she knows someone out there has seen her. That is in itself a gift from the gods. In my case I went to the recording studio, and a couple of months later sent Maria this song as a present:"

lyrics

The First Time © 2018 Malcolm Duff & Maristela Da Silva

Oh the first time I saw your face
Heard your voice, amazing grace
By the station, seventh floor
Tap of high heels, lock the door
Scent your perfume in your long brown hair
Floorboards creaking on the stairs
And I’m singing…

In the mirror by your bed
I saw you smile and shake your head
I turned around, you’re standing there
Then turned again, now laid down bare
Emerald eyes and ruby lips
Pearly smile and golden hips
And I’m singing…

Some things you wait all your life for
Trying to fly until the final fall
In a dream I saw the stream led to your door
And there I found the key to it all

So the first time I heard you cry
Felt you tremble deep inside
Was the first time I fell in love
A gift from heaven, from high above
No one heard a heart beat more
Like a bird that’s never flown before
