Tami Neilson - The First Man lyrics

The first man that I ever loved was
The first man to ever hold me in his arms
The first time that I cried
My very first tear he was here

The first kiss that I ever gave
Was to the first man
The one who always kept me safe
From the monsters living under my bed
Or in my head

All the rest gotta live up to
The best of the first man win or lose
We're trying to fill the shoes
Of the first man oh, the first man

The first man, even with his flaws was still
The best man, not despite them but because
They made him the good man that he was
Yes, he was

And all the rest gotta live up to
The best of the first man win or lose
We're trying to fill the shoes
Of the first man oh, the first man

The last time that he said my name was
The last time my heart would ever be the same
The one man I'll be loving
From the first day to the last day of my life
