Somewhere I have never travelled
gladly beyond
any experience,
your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which I cannot touch because they are too near
Or if your wish be to
close me,
I and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending:
(I do not know what it is
about you
that closes
and opens;
only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

The first time I loved forever
F Gm F Gm
The first time I loved forever
F Bb F Bb
Was when you whispered my name
Dm C Bb C
And I knew at once you loved me
Dm C Bb C Gm Dm Bb C
For the me of who I am
F Gm F Gm
The first time I loved forever
F Bb F Bb
I cast all else aside
Dm C Bb C
And I bid my heart to follow
Dm C Bb C D
Be there no more need to hide
Bm F#7 Bm7
And if wishes and dreams
Bb7 D
Are merely for children
Gm D
And if love's a tale for fools
Bb C7 F D
I'll live the dream with you
F Gm F Gm
For all my life and forever
F Bb F Bb
There's a truth I'll always know
Dm C Bb C
When my world divides and shatters
Dm C Bb
Your love is where I'll go
This is the love theme from the
television show
Beauty and the Beast.
The poem was written by E. E. Cummings
and Lyrics by Melanie Safka and sung by Lisa Angelle. Music by Lee Holdridge.
