Lyrics

That song was written by my very good friends
 Alan and Marylin Bergman, and Marvin Hamlish
 And, we'll take a little, ah, they're real song writers you know
 Thank you
 Me I dabble, you know
 My career is 46 years old not counting summer stock
 And, in all that time I've written approximately ten songs
 Which averages out to be about 2.3 songs per decade
 But I was 22 when I wrote my first song, the music
 And, which I thought I would sing for you tonight
 Because it's short and sweet
 And, it's called "Ma Premiere Chanson"
 Which in French means "My First Song"
 It's in French because
 I was working on one of my least popular albums
 Called, "Je Ma'pelle Barbara" that just went gold after 42 years
 Better late than never, right?
 But, so it wasn't very popular
 Except obviously in France and Montreal, Vietnam I think, Algeria, you know
 Where else do they speak French?
 Anyway, the essence of it says with my finger on the piano
 On the first day of my first love
 With your heart in my hand, I found my first song
 So, I'm not a really good piano player, so excuse my imperfections
 Thank you
 Oh, my glasses, my glasses
 A senior moment (okay)
 Oh, you're very kind
