First Time Holding You

[Verse 1]
Hospital room
Half past two
You’re breathing slow
He’s brand new
Your hair’s a mess
You say, “I’m tired”
I’ve never seen
Someone so wired
With that kind of quiet fire
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
More than these words can do
You brought a whole world
Right into this room
Got our boy in my arms
But my eyes stay on you
Baby, look what you came through
I’m so proud of you
[Verse 2]
Little blue hat
Covers his ears
One tiny yawn
I fight back tears
You say, “Is he okay?”
Like you ain’t the proof
That mercy’s real
Standing in this room
I’d marry you again by noon (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
More than these words can do
You brought a whole world
Right into this room
Got our boy in my arms
But my eyes stay on you
Baby, look what you came through
I’m so proud of you
[Bridge]
When the nights get long
And you doubt you’re strong
I’ll remind you of tonight
How you held on tight
You’re the bravest heart I’ve ever known
You made this house a home
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
More than these words can do
You brought a whole world
Right into this room
Got our boy in my arms
But my eyes stay on you
Every “I love you” feels brand new
Baby, look what you came through
I’m so proud of you
[Outro]
Yeah, our boy’s in my arms
But my heart’s wrapped around you

First verse keeps it intimate and close-mic; chorus swells with harmonies and brighter steel guitar. Middle section drops to just vocal, bass, and harmonica before a final, full-band lift on the last chorus., heartfelt, male vocals
