C F C I sit down each morning and I start to move my pen. G G7 It's what I know that I was meant to do. C F C Without knowing how, I find I write your name again. F G7 C Oh, it's always true, the first song is for you. F C Every time I start it's still the same. F G G7 When I move my pen, it writes your name. C F C I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do, F G7 C And 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 troubles we've been through.
Never would have come this far without a love so strong.
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,
And when I do, the first song is for you.
F C I think about the times that you've been there for me, G7 C C7 There through a long, hard climb. F C I think about the many ways you cared for me, D7 G G7 Cared for me time after time.
I can see your picture where it hangs upon my wall,
And 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,
And when I do, the first song is for you.
And when I do, the first song is for you.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1994)
