My First, My Forever

Verse 1

You were just a little girl

When I was learning too

I thought I was the one raising you

But you were raising me too

We grew up side by side

Through storms we never planned

And somehow through the hardest days

You still reached for my hand

Pre-Chorus

And I see myself in your eyes

But there's so much more in you

You're everything I dreamed I'd be

And things I never knew

Chorus

Oh, my first, my forever

My little piece of me

You made a mother out of a girl

Who was still learning how to be

You're the fire in your imagination

The brilliance in your mind

And if the world could see you through my eyes

They'd see a once-in-a-lifetime kind

I gave you life, but you gave me mine

My first, my forever, my whole heart every time

Verse 2

You've got a mind that never stops

A heart that feels so deep

A thousand dreams inside your head

And promises to keep

You're creative, you're courageous

You're smarter than you know

And watching you become this woman

Is my favorite thing to watch grow

Pre-Chorus

I hope you never dim your light

To make the world feel small

You were born to take up space

You were never meant to fall

Chorus

Oh, my first, my forever

My little piece of me

You made a mother out of a girl

Who was still learning how to be

You're the fire in your imagination

The brilliance in your mind

And if the world could see you through my eyes

They'd see a once-in-a-lifetime kind

I gave you life, but you gave me mine

My first, my forever, my whole heart every time

Bridge

One day you'll look in the mirror

And see the woman you've become

And I hope you know I'll always see

The little girl who made me someone

You don't owe me a thing, my love

You don't have to follow my way

Just promise me you'll never forget

How beautiful you are today

And if I could go back and do it all again

Through every tear and every scar

I'd still choose you to be my first

Because you made me who I am

Chorus

Oh, my first, my forever

Look at who you've grown to be

You were once my little girl

Now you're teaching me to see

There's a million things I wish for you

A million dreams to chase

But no matter how far life takes you

You'll always have your place

I gave you life, but you gave me mine

And I'll spend forever being proud you're mine

Outro

I was supposed to teach you how to live...

But baby, you taught me how to love

My first

My forever

My girl
