Firsts

[Verse 1]
On that day, we lost our way
It’s hard to comprehend
It’s like a knock on the door
brought all we had before
crashing to an end
Life is like a flight
Through the darkness and the light
Each change another turbulent motion
Though the journey is unclear
We’ll find a way to steer
As we navigate the storms of emotion
There’s a first time for everything
Together we saw lots along our way
But they’ll never be the same
Since that day

[Chorus]
Now each new first is more than just a milestone
It’s a bittersweet reminder that you’re gone
But we’ll take each one without you as a chance to talk about you
And keep you in our hearts and minds where you belong
Until the next new first comes along

 [Verse 2]
Each thing new is still shared with you
You always find a way leave a sign
It’s crystal clear that you’re still here
And you’re with us every time
Through the seconds and the thirds, we find comfort in the birds
You’re sending as a message from afar
And when we should be together, you leave for us a feather
And we keep them all as treasures in a jar
The first of a month just keeps coming round again
so lets raise a rum n coke to your name

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
His early steps, his first trip on a plane
him playing sports whilst sporting your name.
How his likes and dislikes change. The little boy he has become
Would you recognise your own baby boy now that he has grown
His first hair cut, first pee in a pot
Knowing not to put a raisin up your nose
All these oddities and simple things encountered as he grows
The first of a month just keeps coming round again
so lets raise a rum n coke to your name

[Chorus]
