Johnny Mathis — Im 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 vеry first time Turn me loose Sеt 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!
