Answer
Dear Lynn,

FIRST LOVE is a 1980 song by the duo SEALS & CROFTS. It was from their 1980 album LONGEST ROAD. SEALS is JIM SEALS (guitar, sax and fiddle) and CROFTS is DASH CROFTS (drums, mandolin, keyboard and guitars). JIM had another brother DAN who was one half of another pop duo, ENGLAND DAN & JOHN FORD COLEY. SEALS & CROFTS were known for their songs SUMMER BREEZE, MY FAIR SHARE & WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY (AGAIN). Here's its lyrics:

FIRST LOVE / SEALS & CROFTS

Everybody has a first love, they have left in yesterday.
Feelings they have left behind, it's just a place in time but not so far away.
Everybody has a first love, when the dream they shared was new.
I remember that special someone, so I wrote this song just for you.

First love in my life. Where are you tonight? I wonder about you.
First love in my life. Did things turned out alright? I worry about you.
'Cause I've got everything, everything in life that I wanted.
It would kill me now and make me sad to know you are lonely.
First love never dies.

I wish you love, I wish you happiness. And may the years be kind to you.
You'll always be a part of me, share this thought with me. I'll carry you always.

First love, first love never dies. Remember
First love, first love never dies. I tell you
First love, first love never dies. Remember
First love, first love never dies. Whoa...


Maraming salamat po!!
