FIRST WORD

Written by Pearl and Charlie Barrett (Sung by Meadow Barrett)

You are asked me, Where has your little girl gone,
Oh where could your little girl be?
How I am I standing here looking so grown
When yesterday I was just three?

I hardly sit on your lap any more,
I’m losing my childish ways,
I know some things may be different now,
But some things will always remain…

CHORUS:
You were my very first word, Daddy!
Your arms are the safest place on earth, Daddy!
I can always run to you and you’ll be there,
You were my very first dance, Daddy!
You’d twirl me around and we’d laugh, Daddy!
You were my very first word.

You joke about the coming years
When you’ll be chasing the young men away,
You tease I can marry when I’m thirty-two,
And not a minute before that day!

But I’ve heard you pray God will watch over me,
That He’ll keep me and help me stay pure.
So I’ll turn to Him when I’m looking for answers
But some things I know for sure…

CHORUS:
You were my very first song, Daddy!
It’s a tune that I still like to hum, Daddy!
I can always run to you and you’ll be there.
You heard my very first prayer, Daddy!
You showed me the way that God cares, Daddy!
You were my very first word.
Daddy!
