The first time i loved forever

[00:02.57] Gladly beyond any experience

[00:05.13] Your eyes have their silence

[00:07.92] And your most frail gesture of things

[00:11.49] Which enclose me

[00:12.77] But which I cannot touch

[00:15.29] Because they are too near.”

[00:19.07] The first time I loved forever

[00:25.60] Was when you whispered my name

[00:33.14] And I knew at once you loved me

[00:40.45] For the me of who I am

[00:55.08] The first time I loved forever

[01:02.64] I cast all else aside

[01:09.43] And I bid my heart to follow

[01:16.54] Be there no more need to hide

[01:29.65] And if wishes and dreams

[01:34.72] Are merely for children

[01:38.74] And if love's a tale for fools

[01:47.09] I'll live the dream with you

[01:57.22] Poem:

[01:58.24] “or, if your wish be to close me

[02:01.00] I, my life will shut, very beautifully

[02:05.05] Suddenly, as when the heart of this flower

[02:09.11] Imagines the snow carefully, everywhere

[02:12.90] descending”.

[02:15.92] For all my life and forever

[02:22.49] There's a truth I will always know

[02:30.06] When my world divides and shatters

[02:37.09] Your love is where I'll go

[02:45.13] Poem:

[02:47.14] “I do not know what it is about you that closes

[02:49.92] and opens. Only something in me understands

[02:53.43] the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.

[02:57.71] Nobody, not even the rain has such small hands.”
