Key of F# 

110 bpm 

 

VERSE: 

Skipping rocks down by the riverbed  

Life was simple, we were 9 and 10 

Playing catch me, catch me if you can 

Under the velvet sky 

 

PRE-CHORUS: 

We’re both older 

Looking back, I wonder 

Thinking bout what used to be 

I go back to that moment 

I wonder do you think ever of me 

 

CHORUS: 

Oh, I wish you would 

That feeling of your first love, oh 

I wish you would 

Am I still the one you dream of? 

Oh Boy, I wish you would 

 

VERSE 2: 

In our teens, we would walk to school 

Holding hands trying to play it cool 

We were the ones breaking all the rules 

Under the velvet sky  

 

PRE-CHORUS: 

We’re both older 

Looking back, I wonder 

Thinking bout what used to be 

When I go back to that moment 

I wonder do you ever think of me 

 

CHORUS: Hook 

Oh, I wish you would 

That feeling of your first love, oh 

I wish you would 

Am I still the one you dream of? 

Oh Boy, I wish you would 

 

PRE-CHORUS: 

We’re both older 

Looking back, I wonder 

Thinking ‘bout what used to be 

When I go back to that moment 

I wonder do you ever think of me 

 

CHORUS: 

Oh, I wish you would 

That feeling of your first love, oh 

I wish you would 

Am I still the one you dream of? 

Sha La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

Sha La la la la la la la la la la la 

Sha La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

Sha La la la la la la la la la la la 

 

CHORUS: 

Oh, I wish you would 

That feeling of your first love, oh 

I wish you would 

Am I still the one you dream of? 

Oh Boy, I wish you would
