The First Time

THE FIRST TIME Lyrics and Music by Haylee Slaughter

Copyright 2007 Haylee Slaughter Music

Written during the worst period of writer's block in my life on Gage's couch! :)


You’ve come so far / you think you’re done

Well bless your heart / we’ve only just begun

Oh darlin’, how can it be?

Still lots to prove / more ground to cover

More rocks to move / from one pile to the other

Oh darlin’, is this happenin’ to me?


You’re so humble / you democrat

Pride makes you stumble / a clumsy acrobat

Oh darlin’, why would that be?

Familiar voices / you turn and squint

Unwise choices / they found your fingerprints

Oh darlin’, is this happenin’ to me?


And I just saw the end of my nose for the first time

And I’m just now feelin’ the warmth of the sunshine

And it looks so good to me

And it feels so good to me

To me

To me


Let’s get to learnin’ / activity

My ears are burnin’ with compulsivity

Oh darlin’, why would that be?

Try to behave / and join the chorus

Echoes the cave / where I lost my thesaurus

Oh darlin’, why’d that happen to me?


And I just saw the end of my nose for the first time

And I’m just now feelin’ the warmth of the sunshine

And it looks so good to me

And it feels so good to me

To me

To me


Cause real life / ain’t on a station

He spoke my name / the hour of my creation

Oh darlin’, how could that be?

I’m getting old / my bones are brittle

It was foretold / I’d die in a hospital

Oh darlin’, will it happen to me?


And I just saw the end of my nose for the first time

And I’m just now feelin’ the warmth of the sunshine

And it looks so good to me

And it feels so good to me

To me

To me
