Question
Hi Bong,
Please send me the songs Never Mind (by Colors)
and "6-2-8". Also I am looking for an 80's love song by Tommy Shaw (Styx vocalist?) titled "Count On You".

I have another duet love song in mind and part of the lyric starts like: "How will He know me, Will I know him, Is there no end to all my questioning." (OST of a movie?)... and the end line goes something like this: "...and I promise to be true to you, my first love."

Thanks for all the help.

Answer
Dear Edgar,

You are looking for the song FIRST LOVE by KRISTY McNICHOL & CHRISTOPHER ATKINS. It was featured in the 1983 musical and comical movie THE PIRATE MOVIE starring the said artists based on GILBERT & SULLIVAN's THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. Here's its lyrics:

FIRST LOVE / KRISTY McNICHOL & CHRISTOPHER ATKINS

When will I find love?
Where will it be?
And if she's out there will she wait for me?

How will he know me?
Will I know him?
Is there no end to all my questioning?

Can I believe what I am seeing, what I am feeling?
Something so real, watching her there
She makes my heart stop.

Can I believe what I am feeling?
My head is reeling
He just took my mind, from the start I can say
I will give him everything.

Refrain:
Strange emotions wash over me
Like the motion of the deepest sea.

Chorus:
And I feel first love
(I never thought it would be)
You're all I dreamed of
(I will be constantly true)
Love moves me inside
Like the moon moves the tide
My first love.

Can it be true?
Can this be real love?
Am I worthy of a vision so pure?
Oh, lovely one, she's what I've waited for.

Can it be true or am I dreaming?
He makes my heart sing
Watching his eyes
Oh, looks that's warm me like the sunrise.

Refrain:
Strange emotions are calling me
I am falling, falling helplessly in...
(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Some kind of miracle brought you here
Just when I've given up hoping
From the moment when you first appeared
I could feel my whole life opening.
(Repeat Chorus)

(I never thought it would be)
My first love
(I will be constantly true)
My first love
(Ooh, they say that it's true)
My first love...

Coda:
And I promise to be true to you
My first love.
