lyrics

The First Time With You
by Dave Keller

VERSE 1
I remember those last days
Just like yesterday
When it was torture
Me and my old flame
It took her so long
To make up her mind
She had herself a new man
But couldn’t leave ol’ Davey behind
I thought that I could change it
Tried to rearrange it
I was trapped and I knew it
But still I let her do it

CHORUS
But the first time with you
Made up for the last time with her

VERSE 2
You see, I thought I had it so good
But it was really so bad
How would I ever find another love
To replace the one I had?
She had me wrapped around her finger
Pulled that string so tight
Would you believe we even made love
On that very last night?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
When she finally left
I was so alone
I was hurtin’ bad
Right down to the bone
But that’s when God graced me
From up above
‘Cause there you were
Just filled with love

CHORUS

SAX AND ORGAN SOLO

VERSE 3
That first night with you
Was really something else
I’d never been with anybody
So comfortable in themself
You gave me love
It was strong and it was deep
And I knew right then
That’s a love I’m gonna keep

CHORUS

Deep soul singing, fiery guitar work, meaningful songs with addictive choruses. Like a younger generation Robert Cray, Keller mixes the power of soul and blues, drawing the listener into his world, and leaving them richer for the experience. ... more
