First Day Back at School Lyrics

Our first day back at school
I saw you standing there
I saw your big brown eyes
And loved your raven hair

You didn't know it but I saw you too
In your letter sweater of gold and blue
Your big broad shoulders and your flashing eyes
I picked you out from all the other guys

If you'll wear this ring for me
Then we'll go steadily
As the year draws to an end

I'll be wearing your fraternity pin
Then one day when we're out of school
And our campus days are through
We'll be making all our future plans
To be wearing matching wedding bands
I'm glad that I saw you our first day back at school

If you'll wear this ring for me
Then we'll go steadily
As the year draws to an end
I'll be wearing your fraternity pin
Then one day when we're out of school
And our campus days are through
We'll be making all our future plans
To be wearing matching wedding bands
I'm glad that I saw you our first day back at school
I'm glad I saw you too our first day back at school
I'm glad that I saw you our first day back at school

Hey Paula

Hey Paula [Original Recording]

Come Softly to Me

We Go Together

Hey! Baby

Our first day back at school
I saw you standing there
I saw your big brown eyes
And loved your raven hair

You didn't know it but I saw you too
In your letter sweater of gold and blue
Your big broad shoulders and your flashing eyes
I picked you out from all the other guys

If you'll wear this ring for me
Then we'll go steadily
As the year draws to an end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
