For The First Time Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

Jane: 

This affection I feel is hard to understand 

Its not the way I planned 

My world is changing 

Wherever I turn 

Its his face I see 

Looking back at me 

And in my eyes I cant disguise 

The affection I feel 

Is getting the better off me 

Oh for the first time its not a dream 

Oh for the first time it seems so real 

That I want to remember 

Every moment 

That Im there beside him 

When he gently takes my hand 

So here I am 

Feeling things Ive never felt 

And all because of him 

My world is changing 

Tarzan: 

Shes turned my whole world upside down 

Jane: 

Everything that I do 

I do to catch his eye 

Well and I wont deny 

I stand here guilty 

Tarzan: 

I wonder if she feels the same 

Both: 

Is this affection (as) I feel 

Has gotten the better of me 

Both: 

So for the first time 

Can this be love? 

Oh for the first time 

I know its real 

Jane: 

And with him I feel 

Both: 

So completely 

Uniquely like no other 

As he gently holds me close 

Jane: 

But wait a minute 

What am I saying? 

Tarzan: 

Neer thought no 

Jane: 

I never thought 

On a scale so grand 

Tarzan: 

To be feeling 

Jane: 

Are these emotions 

Racing through me 

Tell me I must 

Tell me I can 

Tarzan: 

I never felt these things 

Both: 

Im finding who I am 

Cause for the first time 

Jane: 

I have no doubt 

Tarzan: 

These things she does 

Both: 

But for the first time 

I understand, try to understand 

Yes for the first time 

I realise 

That all the things they strange/separate happened 

Well theyre happening to me 

Jane: 

Every time Im with that man 

Tarzan: 

Every time Im with her 

Jane: 

Every time Im with 

Tarzan: 

Could I be 

Both: 

That man
