Roger Marshall - The First Lyrics

The first time that I heard him laugh
I felt so safe and calm inside
The first time that I heard him swear
I trembled and I ran to hide
Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on
Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong
This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son
The first time that I shook his hand
I felt so proud and felt so strong
The first time that I left his house
It seemed so far and it felt so long
Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on
Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong
This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son
The first time he asked me to write
Reflecting thoughts inside his heart and head
The first time that I heard him cry
He'd seen the truth in what I said
Since the first time that he picked me up and told me to go on
Since the first time that he let me go and he knew that I was wrong
This is the first time that I've told him, that I'm proud to be his son
