lyrics

THE FIRST THING I SEE

The first thing I see
When I wake up to me
Is you

And it’s hard to believe
Or conceive
What I know to be true

Against all the odds
And although life’s a bitch
With a hole in my heart
Slight reality glitch

The first thing I see
When I wake up to me
Is you

The light in my window is on
Just in case you pass by
I remember you won’t
And forget there are good reasons why

There’s a little loose end
Where dreams don’t come true
Though I tied it in knots
And then hit undo

The first thing I see
When I wake up to me
Is you

Now I cry for you
And you cry for somebody else
Love’s a conundrum of passions
Heaven and Hell

All I’m trying to do
Is to live and let live
Get through this night
Forget and forgive

But the first thing I see
When I wake up to me
I cry when I do
‘Cause I know it’s not true
But the first thing I see
When I wake up to me
Is you

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.
