For the First Time Lyrics

For the first time in a long time
I want the sunshine to shine on me
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
And I want your love all over me.

Ten years ago I guess you know
I gave my heart and my hand
But she left me here to grieve but never know
All my days have been like nights
My nights have been long days
But when I saw you I knew I'd love again.

For the first time in a long time
I want the sunshine to shine on me
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
And I want your love all over me.

For the first time in a long time
I want the sunshine to shine on me
I want those hillsides to feel me walking
And I want your love all over me.

For the first time in a long time.

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.
