First Word

Verse 1: Morning light across the floor Bare feet, toys by the door You’re laughing at the smallest things Like you’ve already figured out everything Verse 2: You point at shadows on the wall Wave goodbye when someone calls Every sound is something new Every day you’re teaching me too Pre-Chorus: I didn’t know my heart could stop Over something so small But then you looked right up at me Like you knew it all Chorus: It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t planned Just a sound, just your hand Reaching for me like you knew Exactly who was holding you The whole world felt still for a while When you said it with that smile I didn’t need to hear it twice I knew that was your first word Verse 3: I’ve sung on stages, chased the sky Said a million goodbyes But nothing ever sounded so true As the moment it came from you Pre-Chorus: I’ve waited on love, I’ve waited on signs I’ve waited my whole life But that one word changed everything In the blink of an eye Chorus: It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t planned Just a sound, just your hand Reaching for me like you knew Exactly who was holding you The whole world felt still for a while When you said it with that smile I didn’t need to hear it twice I knew that was your first word Bridge: Maybe someday you’ll forget The way you said it then But I’ll carry that moment To the very end Final Chorus: It wasn’t perfect, wasn’t clear Just a love I could hear In a voice still finding its way You changed my life that day Every song I’ll ever sing Starts right here, starts with this I didn’t need to hear it twice I knew that was your first word Outro: And I’ve never been the same
