Answer
Dear Gerry,

Hi there in UK!

Question #1:
Here's its lyrics:

And when she touches me
I know that she's the right one
Cause I can see it in the way her eyes are shining
But we still don't know each other very well
We will, we will, we will.

And now we'll find a way to spend some time together
And we'll discover all the things to share between us
And though we're much too shy right now to say the word
It's love, it's love, it's love.

Chorus 1:
Let it be love forever after
Let it be love and joy and laughter
Let it be love to fill our lives with song.

And then one day we're gonna wanna live together
Cause we will need each other's loving so completely
And all these years before will seem like wasted time
Be mine, be mine, be mine.
(Repeat Chorus 1)
We need each other.
Chorus 2:
Let it be love that's waiting fore me
Let it be love, that old, old story
Let it be love I dreamed of love so long.
Bridge:
And I'll do anything you want me to
Anything, just say those words to me.
(Repeat Chorus 1)
We need each other.
(Repeat Chorus 2 while fading)

Question #2:
Here is its lyrics. This is the Boyfriends' version. I do not have the revived version but I don't think there's much change from the original version:

FIRST LOVE (Never Dies) / BOYFRIENDS

I tried to live without you
Though I find it hard to do
I thought of yeaterday
How sweet the love we shared
And I just can't forget you
Cause first love never dies.

Now I'm alone without you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
You've been a part of me
I'm lost without your love
I need you badly, baby
I'm down here on my knees.

Chorus:
First love never dies
I just wanna say that I still love you
First love never dies
Through the years that come and go
I still will say I love you.

(Repeat 2nd stanza)
(Repeat Chorus to fade)

Question #3:
This song is an original by Jose Feliciano revived later by numerous artists including Barbra Streisand.

LOVE COMES FROM THE MOST UNEXPECTED PLACES / JOSE FELICIANO

Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone's eyes you've never met
Who wants to get to know you
In someone's smile you can't forget
And if the music plays on in your mind
Take all the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
And hope it comes again
Love comes from the most unexpected places
A love song on the radio you never heard enough of
In bars that thrive on loneliness
Where people sell their sorrow for your time
They take the love that they can find
And if love takes them in
They take the love that they can find
And hope it comes again

Love comes in many ways
In lovers' arms in sweet bouquets
But if nothing's said than nothing's ever heard
So here I stand outside your door
And I'm trying to tell you just once more
That I love you
I still love you

Love comes from the most unexpected places
Alone again I search a street of unrelated faces
Where strangers look the other way
They're so afraid my smile might say "come in"
And take the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
And hope love comes again.

Maraming salamat po!
