Was there a touch of spring?
Did she have a pink dress on?
And when she smiled, her shyest smile
Could you almost touch the warmth?
And was it your first love, a very precious time?
Was there the faintest breeze?
And did she have a ponytail?
And could she make you feel ten feet tall,
Walking down the grassy trail?
Was it your first love, a very precious time, time?
Now they got me trying to define, in later life
What her love means to me
And it keeps me struggling to remember, my first touch of spring.
Was there a touch of spring, in the air?
And did she have a pink dress on?
And when she smiled, her shyest smile
Could you almost touch the warmth?
Was it your first love,
A very precious, very precious, very precious time, time.
Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011) was an American poet, musician, and activist widely considered a pioneer of the hip hop movement. Born in Chicago, Heron began his career as a spoken word artist in the 1960s, blending poetry and jazz music to create a new genre that fused elements of blues, funk, and soul. His music often carried a strong political message, addressing issues such as racism, poverty, and social oppression. Heron is particularly known for his song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", which became an anthem against television propaganda and manipulation. Among his most important albums are "Pieces of a Man" (1970) and "Winter in America" (1974). He collaborated with artists such as Brian Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Miles Davis.
