about

Bright Eyes, arr. Christy-Lyn

lyrics

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up
And you said this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy

So I thought I’d let you know
You can have forever
And although I might be slow
I realized that I need you
And I’m so glad that I am home
