My First Love

Verse 1

I held you once in trembling hands,

So small, the world still wide.

I promised then, without a plan,

I’d always be your guide.

From scraped-up knees to fearless dreams,

I watched you learn to fly.

And every step you took away,

I stayed just close behind.

Chorus

You were my first hello to love,

My reason to be strong.

Every prayer I whispered low,

Every right, every wrong.

Today I dance, then step aside,

With pride I can’t explain.

I give your hand, but not my heart—

That part of me remains.

Verse 2

I taught you how the world can be,

And how to stand up tall.

But you taught me what it means

To give your life it all.

And when he looks at you tonight,

I see it in his eyes—

The same protection, same respect,

The same love I recognize.

Bridge

So take her hand and guard her well,

She’s stronger than she knows.

She’s kind, she’s brave, she’s made of light,

She’s everything I hoped.

Final Chorus / Outro

This dance is not goodbye, my love,

It’s just a turning page.

I raise you up, then let you go,

With grace, not fear, but faith.

I’ll always be your steady ground,

No matter where you stand.

One last step… one last embrace…

Then I place your hand in his.
