The First Good Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a dance in a tiny town A boy taking tickets at the door Something in his eyes felt like a promise Like nothing I had ever felt before I walked in carrying all my broken pieces But he looked at me like I was whole [Chorus] And he was the first good thing Patient hands that held me through the healing Honest, kind, and safe as a Sunday morning Love I never knew that I'd been needing He was the first good thing [Verse 2] Dusty rides out to the farm In that beat up old red truck Kevin beside me, windows down I was learning how to trust He never rushed me, never pushed Just loved me steady, loved me sure And somewhere down those gravel roads My broken heart found its cure [Chorus] And he was the first good thing Patient hands that held me through the healing Honest, kind, and safe as a Sunday morning Love I never knew that I'd been needing He was the first good thing [Bridge] From that tiny town to our dream home door God knew exactly what He had in store I look around at this beautiful family And wonder how we got blessed with so much more [Verse 3] Kevin, I hoped that night I'd found forever And darling, every hope came true From the girl too broken to believe in love To living every dream with you With every heartbeat, every breath I thank the Lord above For leading me to that little dance And straight into Kevin's love [Chorus] 'Cause you were the first good thing Patient hands that held me through the healing Honest, kind, and safe as a Sunday morning Love I never knew that I'd been needing You are the first good thing [Outro] Every beat of my heart says thank you For this life I love with you
