BARBARA'S GARDENS
before I was ready
you came to love me
I thought I knew so much
I had so much more to learn
and that is a first love
the one who reaches in
before you are ready
for your fires to burn
so often it is misunderstood
ending in denial and endless silence
and they'll tell you it's for your own good
but I've learned a thing or two
and that just isn't true
your first love is too deep to end
so welcome your forever friend
if I could tell you now
I'd let you see my smile
when I think of you
it's as wide as a mile
if I could show you now
whatever I could do
to thank you for showing me
how a heart feels when it is true
so often it is misunderstood
ending in betrayal and even violence
and they'll tell you to forget and move along
but I've got news for you
that's not the best you can do
unless you want to live only pretend
welcome your forever friend
what can I say
how did I know
I was just a child
so much more to grow
you reached deep inside
where rainbows don't end
and showed me what love is
you showed me how to be a friend
just the greatest gift there is...
thank you my forever friend
First Love
(Forever Friend)
