[Verse 1]
You were standing by the doorway
Laughing at a joke I never heard
Sunlight in your hair that morning
Everything slowed in my world
I remember what you were wearing
That little nervous twist of your ring
The way you caught me staring
Like you already knew everything
[Chorus]
The first time I saw you
My heart learned your name
Before I ever asked it
Before you ever came
Into my arms
Into my life
I didn’t know then
You would be my wife
But something whispered
“this is you”
The first time I saw you
[Verse 2]
All the noise turned into music
Coffee cups and chatter fell away
You smiled like we had a secret
I’d been waiting on that day
Now here we are in our best clothes
Family crying in the second row (oh)
Same eyes
Same quiet thunder
Saying “yes” to all we’ll never know
[Chorus]
The first time I saw you
My heart learned your name
Before I ever asked it
Before you ever came
Into my arms
Into my life
I didn’t know then
You would be my wife
But something whispered
“this is you”
The first time I saw you
[Bridge]
If I could go back
I’d still choose
That crowded room
That simple view
Every road that led me here
Was just a way to bring me to you
[Chorus]
The first time I saw you
Feels like it’s today
Standing here before me
As we promise
As we pray
Take my hand
Take my life
I’ll spend forever
Saying “you’re my wife”
And I’ll thank heaven that it all came true
From the first time I saw you
