A gentle folky ballad
love marriage golden wedding
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
A love song to my wife on our Golden Anniversary
Lyrics
Golden EG#mF#m Am/CEG#mGmF#m B7 x4 The first girl I loved she was sweeter than an angel She was everything my heart was yearning for Other girls I’d known, could be hurtful or disdainful She pulled at my heart and lifted me up from the floor The first girl I loved was beautiful, no query I thought that she was far beyond my reach Before we met my life was dull and dreary It took some nerve to reach out for the peach. C#mG#F#mE C#mG#F#mAF#mAA BB7 But we were only in our teens What did we know of life It would remain a hidden dream That one day my first love might be my wife Time moves on and the older I am getting The more I find I’m looking to the past And way back then what would have been the betting That the first girl I loved would also be the last So 50 years have raced away And details get obscured But one thing I am pleased to say Is that our love has endured The first girl I loved is standing here beside me Or lying in my arms all through the night The first girl I loved is always here to guide me Keeping me safe and making everything alright. Though we were only in our teens I knew this much was true My life would have a wondrous sheen If I could just hold on to you Time moves on and the older I am getting The more I find I’m looking to the past And way back then what would have been the betting Slow to stopE That the first girl I loved would also be the last ?
