The First Song Is For You

Lyrics

I sit down each morning and I start to move my pen
 It's what I know that I was meant to do
 Without knowing how I find I write your name again
 Oh, it's always true the first song is for you
 Every time I start it's still the same
 When I move my pen it writes your name
 I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
 When I do the first song is for you
 I sit down with my guitar and try to write a song
 About all the trials and trib' we've been through
 Never would have come so far without love so strong
 So it's always true the first song is just for you
 Every time I start it's still the same
 When I move my pen it writes your name
 I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
 When I do the first song is for you
 I think about the times when you were there for me
 There for the long hard climb
 I think about the many ways you cared for me
 Cared for me time after time
 I can see your picture where it hangs upon the wall
 Every time I see it, it's still new
 I might write a thousand songs but as I write them all
 It'll still be true the first song is for you
 Every time I start it's still the same
 When I move my pen it writes your name
 I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
 But when I do the first song is for you
 And when I do the first song is for you
