Kenny Loggins For The First Time Lyrics

Kenny Loggins' "For the First Time": Let's Talk About It

Okay, people, let's be honest. We all know Kenny Loggins. We know "Danger Zone." We know "Footloose."

But what about "For the First Time"? The song from *One Fine Day*? The one that gets played at weddings and makes everyone tear up?

I'm just going to say it: I'm not entirely convinced by the lyrics.

The "First Time" of… Everything?

The song claims it's the "first time I've ever seen your face." Wait, really?

Were you guys dating with blindfolds on? Did you live in separate countries and only communicate through carrier pigeons?

I get it, it's a metaphor. It's supposed to mean you're seeing someone in a new light. But still...

Then it's the "first time I've known what love's all about." So, every relationship before this one was just... practice?

I'm not saying previous loves don't matter. They probably shaped you into the person who's ready for this "first time" kind of love!

The Power of Kenny's Voice (and Michelle Pfeiffer's Charm)

Don't get me wrong, Kenny Loggins can sing. That man has pipes! His voice sells the sincerity, even if the lyrics are a little... much.

Plus, the song is attached to *One Fine Day*, which is a perfectly charming 90s rom-com. Michelle Pfeiffer makes anything watchable.

Maybe the magic of the movie is what makes the song so popular. I mean, who doesn't love a good meet-cute?

Is It Just Me?

Am I the only one who raises an eyebrow at these lyrics? Am I a cynical monster devoid of romance?

Maybe. Probably. But I still think some of the lines are a bit cheesy.

"For the first time in my life, I see love."

The sentiment is sweet. Believing that this new love is something utterly unique and transformational is wonderful.

The Verdict: A Good Song, But...

Look, "For the First Time" is a perfectly pleasant song. It's catchy. It's romantic. It's Kenny Loggins!

And it's fantastic for first dances, it will have your guest in tears. But let's just admit it, it would not be as good if another person sung it.

But those lyrics? I'm just saying, they might be a little bit over the top.

So, next time you hear it, maybe sing along. But also, maybe giggle a little bit. Just between us.

After all, what's life without a little bit of playful skepticism? And a whole lot of Kenny Loggins?
