I remember my first time
I was only nineteen
I was older than she
And she was so fair and serene
It was out in the barn I remember
It was the close of a lush summer day
The evening was scented with clover in bloom
And the fragrance of freshly mown hay
I remember she moved a bit closer
And the touch of her body was warm
In her eyes there was a look of contentment
As she snuggled her head on my arm
I was so awkward and trembling
And trying as hard as I could
She helped by patiently waiting
As a loved one who understood
Seemingly long hours late I stood
Uncertain to stay or to run
Sweating and weak and fearful
For the thought of the deed I'd done
As I made my way back to the house
I'll never forget I vow
The thrill and joy I felt as a boy
On the day that I first milked a cow
I was only nineteen
I was older than she
And she was so fair and serene
It was out in the barn I remember
It was the close of a lush summer day
The evening was scented with clover in bloom
And the fragrance of freshly mown hay
I remember she moved a bit closer
And the touch of her body was warm
In her eyes there was a look of contentment
As she snuggled her head on my arm
I was so awkward and trembling
And trying as hard as I could
She helped by patiently waiting
As a loved one who understood
Seemingly long hours late I stood
Uncertain to stay or to run
Sweating and weak and fearful
For the thought of the deed I'd done
As I made my way back to the house
I'll never forget I vow
The thrill and joy I felt as a boy
On the day that I first milked a cow
