I'm returning to the secret place
Just an altar and a flame
Love is found here
In our sacred space
I hear Your voice I see Your face
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
There's a table just for You and me
Break the bread and pour the wine
Perfect union
Nothing in between
I am Yours and You are mine
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
I wanna stay forever like this
May the flame of my heart always be lit
I wanna burn forever like this
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
I wanna stay forever like this
May the flame of my heart always be lit
I wanna burn forever like this
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
You're still my first love
You're still my only one
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
I wanna stay forever like this
May the flame of my heart always be lit
I wanna burn forever like this
