Lyrics

New Love Nanci Hobson February 12, 2026

when I was sixteen I fell in love the first time and it lasted for almost eleven days when the back seat crush wore off , I was left wondering what I had been thinking in the first place never really felt like I had lost anything I was young, never looked back again

new love…….is like a drug it is the perfect high if I could I would fall in love each day, but no…. with time it tarnishes and then becomes old love. those old loves the kind that never stayed

when I was twenty one, the world suddenly opened up I fell in love with a stranger in the street Seattle didn’t feel quite right, We drove to LA late at night fell into lives of endless partying fast living makes promises hard to to keep it makes goodbyes……and sorrys.

new love…….is like a drug it is the perfect high if I could I would fall in love each day, but no…. with time it tarnishes and then becomes old love. those old loves the kind that never stayed

now I have seen more years than I care to think about I’m hoping we may yet see a few more twenty plus years of watching tides, some so low and some so high yet here we’re still together on the shore you have brought a stillness to my heart a feeling of belonging that was there from the start

new love…….is like a drug it is the perfect high if I could I would fall in love each day, but no…. sometimes when finally you find the one that’s right old love, becomes new love, and it’s the kind that stays it’s the kind the stays

Great story telling here. Lovely vocal. “Fast living makes promises hard to keep” is such a relatable line for this old rocker.

in its structure, this reminds me of sinatra's it was a very good year. i love this kind of song that skips several years between each verse, with the whole giving the impression of a life truly lived. and like real life, this life and loves has its ups and downs..but as a song, it is definitely an upper.

What a fine lyric -a real story - good look at an old topic. Lovely flow to the delivery in a classic style and the vocal brings it home with that great tone.
