(Gentle acoustic guitar strumming)
Yeah, yeah
Temitope
My first love, my everything
Listen to the melody
Before I knew the world, I knew your face
You held me close, a warm and safe embrace
The years go by but memories remain
Like sunshine breaking through the summer rain
You taught me how to walk, you taught me pride
With you, my mother, always by my side
A steady hand when I was feeling small
You were the one who caught me when I’d fall
Oh, Temitope, you are my first light
Guiding me through the darkest of the night
My heart beats rhythm, singing out your name
A love so pure, it never feels the same
You are the root, the song inside my soul
You make the broken pieces feel so whole
Temitope, my treasure, my dear queen
The greatest love that I have ever seen
I remember laughter in the quiet hall
Your voice would echo, answering the call
You sacrificed your dreams to build my way
To give me brightness in the light of day
I see the beauty in the life you chose
A fragrance sweeter than the desert rose
No matter where I wander, where I roam
Your heart will always be my only home
Oh, Temitope, you are my first light
Guiding me through the darkest of the night
My heart beats rhythm, singing out your name
A love so pure, it never feels the same
You are the root, the song inside my soul
You make the broken pieces feel so whole
Temitope, my treasure, my dear queen
The greatest love that I have ever seen
Time moves on, we’re changing with the tides
But love is constant where the spirit hides
I’m standing strong because you stood for me
A legacy of grace for all to see
Oh, Temitope, you are my first light
Guiding me through the darkest of the night
My heart beats rhythm, singing out your name
A love so pure, it never feels the same
You are the root, the song inside my soul
You make the broken pieces feel so whole
Temitope, my treasure, my dear queen
The greatest love that I have ever seen
Temitope
My first love, my mum
Everything I am, I owe to you
Yeah, keeping it steady
Love you always
