The First Song Is for You

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
