The First Of Many Days

[Intro] [whispered] The little bear breathes slow The lamp still burns below [Verse 1] Snow on the window, warm inside the room Small paws are folded in the cotton-colored bloom The clock forgot to tick, the world held still One day just ended, and it never felt so full [Build-Up] And if this is only where the story starts Then hold the light a little longer, hold it in your heart [Chorus] [belted] This is the first of many days The first of golden mornings on the way Don't say goodbye, just say hello To every wonder we don't know So close your eyes, the sun will climb Tomorrow's ours, and so is time The first of many, oh the first of many days [Drop] [Verse 2] He'll wake to rivers he has never crossed To mountains made of maybe, and to nothing that's been lost The moon leaves quiet, drawing back her thread A whole bright life still waiting in the breathing of his head [Build-Up] And if this is only where the story starts Then carry every wonder like a lantern in the dark [Chorus] [belted] This is the first of many days The first of golden mornings on the way Don't say goodbye, just say hello To every wonder we don't know So close your eyes, the sun will climb Tomorrow's ours, and so is time The first of many, oh the first of many days [Bridge] [soft] Every road we sang about tonight Was just one step beneath a bigger sky Sleep now, little traveler, sleep tight The best of all your days has not arrived [build] So let it swell, let it swell, let it rise [Drop] [loud] The first of many days! The first of many days! [Outro] [whispered] Snow on the window, warm inside the room And every ending is a door about to bloom
