[Intro] mmmm mmm mmm (oooooooo) (aaa aaaaaaa) [Verse 1] [ 2 part harmony] I still remember, the first time I saw her face, Every little smile, every little grace.(oooooo aaa) The way she laughed, the way she moved, She had a way of making everything feel so smooth.(aaaaaa) oooo [Chorus] [3 part vocal harmony] The first cut is the deepest, it leaves a mark on your soul, Every little moment, it made me whole.(oooooooooo) Every kiss, every touch, it was magic in the air, The first cut is the deepest, when love is rare.(aaaaaaa) [Verse 2] (solo vocal] She had a way of turning the night into day, In her arms, I’d lose my way.(mmmmmm) Every whisper, every sigh, it was heaven on earth, With her, I found my true worth.(aaaa) [musical interlude] oooo ooooo [Chorus] The first cut is the deepest, it leaves a mark on your soul, Every little moment, it made me whole. Every kiss, every touch, it was magic in the air, The first cut is the deepest, when love is rare. [breathy tenor saxophone solo] (aaaaaaaaaaaa) mmmmm [Bridge] Now the years have gone by, and life has moved on, But in my heart, that love is never gone.(aaaaaaaa) I can still feel her presence, in the quiet of the night, She’s the star that always shines so bright. (oooooooo) [drum fills] [Outro] The first cut is the deepest, it’s a memory so sweet, In the dance of life, it’s a rhythm we repeat. Every love that follows, every love that grows, Can’t compare to the first, as every lover knows. [Jazz ending]
