Lyrics:
The first time I looked into your eyes I cried
Do you remember the first time
We fell in love
You looked into my eyes
Wiped the tears away
The first time
When we fell in love

[@coupleofbeers31]

I'm 37 and I remember being in 6th grade in Miami, FL when this played on the radio and I wanted to go out to get the cassette. Of course I could not drive out to the mall by myself but my sister eventually brought it for me. That was all we had back then, cassettes and radios. Oh and of course Sony Walkmans. My how the times have changed. Never did I imagine that I could be playing this anytime I want on a PHONE for crying out loud. Sadly those simpler times were in my opinion more beautiful and fulfilling than now.

i know this literally has nothing to do with anything you've said, neither does it with the context of your comment but, 37 is still pretty young.

[@dashingrapscallion]

My mom used to always take me to the skating rink as a child and would have to hold me tight and dance with me every time this song came on when we were there. She passed back in 2002 when I was 14, and I had to put together all the courage I could muster to sing this at her funeral, one of the hardest moments of my life. I haven't heard this song in many, many years but think of her every time. I lost my best friend in the world last month, and I'm still crying my eyes out every day. I haven't felt this much pain since my mother's death, and just feel so lost. This song comes on the radio today and I felt like it was my mother just coming to be here for me and tell me everything will be okay. Time definitely does move fast...

[@jashaiidancelist7103]

Oh my Steven Recinos I can feel your pain lost my mom in 08 so I know the feeling this is really a beautiful song

2018 and still a great love song. Surface, Klymaxx, Atlantic Starr, etc - music today can't compare

[@GuyMcPherson69]

True

[@tmat04]

The early to mid 90s had some great tunes such as this, I must admit. But, I still think the 80s was the best decade for music. Great and classical music began to fade away as we approached the year 2000. I can't recall ever getting goosebumps while listening to modern day music....but I did a few minutes ago while listening to this song. Thanks for posting.

[@ronaldantoine1828]

YOU are 100% RIIIGHTT!! The 80's has by far the BEST set of MUSIC!! PERIOD!!

[@tmat04]

ronald antoine I am glad that you're able to confirm that the 80s was the BEST decade EVER for music. When I posted such statement elsewhere under other videos, I got many responses saying that it was the 90s. Of course, one or two people agreed, but the majority didn't. Now, while I am someone who respects other people's opinions, I can't help but argue that they are wrong. What you and I both agree to is a matter of fact. It is not just our opinion. And I reckon SOME, if not MOST, of these folks were not born at a time whereby they experienced both decade growing up. Thanks for sharing you thoughts.

[@vanityposh6348]

I feel exactly the same!

[@rtoma1974]

There are good songs/music today, but EVERYTHING is autotuned now. This song, and other of that time were pure. Around '97-'98 Cher came out with that robot voice, and things went downhill from there.

[@nurindahpermatasari8130]

Surface was my fav in jhs especially this song 💕 I found this in 2020 Who is the same with me?

[@danmcosker8196]

Nurindah Permatasari Hadn’t heard this song in many years and almost forgotten about it. This has me really choked up. The girl in the video at 3:13, the way she looks at her guy, was the same way my Love used to look at me. I haven’t had anyone look at me like that since. It’s been 7 years since I’ve seen or communicated with her. Life took us in different directions. To J. F., wherever you are, I hope you have found happiness in life and love.

[@lindseysummers5351]

My wife of 20 years passed away this week. Because this was a special song for us, we played this gem during her photo sideshow. It was a perfect fit. The first time I took off her glasses and gazed deeply into her eyes, I told her that her eyes were gorgeous. She gave me a stunned, "Really?" She could't believe someone would give her that kind of attention. After spending our whole lives being rejected and neglected, it felt good to feel wanted, for both of us. We always knew we were right for each other, and I miss her more than mere words can describe. Fly with the angels, Julie. I will never stop loving you. You were the best!!
