The First Thing I Knew 1935 JPitt-Payne

How could I tell last night
what today would bring,
I thought that I was bright,
didn't know a thing.

Oh! The first thing I knew
I was looking into pretty eyes of blue.
And the owner of those pretty eyes was you,
that's the first thing I knew,
Oh! The first thing I knew
I was holding such a pretty little hand,
and the owner of that little hand was grand
that's the first thing I knew.
Oh! I thought that I was clever
never had a bit of doubt,
but till I met you,
I never knew what life was all about.
And the first thing I knew
I discovered no one else would ever do,
from the very moment I discovered you
that's the first thing I knew.

How can a fellow guess
such things in advance,
but if you'll answer yes
I'll just take a chance.

Oh! The first thing I knew
I was looking into pretty eyes of blue.
And the owner of those pretty eyes was you,
that's the first thing I knew,
Oh! The first thing I knew
I was holding such a pretty little hand,
and the owner of that little hand was grand
that's the first thing I knew.
Oh! I thought that I was clever
never had a bit of doubt,
but till I met you,
I never knew what life was all about.
And the first thing I knew
I discovered no one else would ever do,
from the very moment I discovered you
that's the first thing I knew.
