I'll Go First

He said, girl, there's something I gotta say A gamble, but it's one I've gotta take It's already been so hard to wait And I can't hold it in another day So I'll go first and hold the door Speak my truth so you don't have to be unsure It might just be three little words But if you're scared, I'll go first Girl, there's something I gotta ask On one knee with a ring, please, take my hand So I can be the happiest man 'Cause you're the most precious thing I've ever had And I'll first down the aisle Watch your daddy fight his tears and force a smile Anywhere on earth or a smalltown church Either way, I'll go first I'll stand behind you Every day I'll keep you safe and catch your fall And I'll walk beside you Lift you up when you've had enough and times get hard But when it's all said and done and our final song's near sung Sun's going down, fading gold Watching everything they'd hope for still unfold But her grey head knows his mind She says, we're not done yet my love but when it's time Just know, I'll go first to meet our maker And I pray I get my way and He lets me take her I can't live this life alone So when you're ready to go home Let me know and I'll go first You already know, I'll go first
