about

This song was written in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. Our family, like so many around the world, are facing a long period of separation. Into the middle of this situation our grandson is being born and we are faced with a long wait to see him in the flesh. This track is a gift of love to him, our son and daughter-in-law, and is a sharing of solidarity with families affected the world over. The track was played on by family members across Australia. Let's do what we can to stay connected and hopeful; there is always new life! We hope you enjoy this song.

First Kiss
Words and music by Steve Bevis 23 March 2020

What will you bring into my life?
I can’t wait to see you
What will you bring into my life?
I can’t wait to feel your touch
Feel your touch
Though that might be awhile…
Might be awhile…

I can sense your heartbeat
I can feel it in my own
‘cross the sky I hear it beating
We share the same skin, same bones
One day I know we’ll share the same room, same home
Til then know this in your sweet soul
I’m saving all my heart
For the first kiss
Saving all my heart
For the first kiss
Saving all my heart
For the first kiss

What can I send but my love
On the far side of this screen?
What can I do but pray for you all
And wait in hope the light of day is seen
Day is seen…
I can’t wait, but I have to wait

I can sense your heartbeat…

You will surprise us
I have no doubt at all
You will outrun us with laughing
In you I hear the future call
You will delight us
I dream of those days to come
You’ll sing a better song
In you I hear a world reborn

What will you bring into my life?…
Saving all my heart for the first kiss…
