Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I thought it'd feel different playing Wembley
80,000 singing with me
It's what I've been chasing 'cause this is the dream
[Verse 2]
When it was all over, I cleared out the room
Grabbed a couple beers, just me and you
Then we start talking the way that we do
[PreChorus]
Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Chorus]
The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first drink, red wine, on a step in Brooklyn
I still feel the first fight, but we both made it out alive
And I can't wait to make a million more first times
Mmm
Mmm
[Verse 3]
The greatest thing that I have achieved
Was four little words, down on one knee
Said, "Darling, are you joking?"
And I just said, "Please"
[PreChorus]
Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Chorus]
The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first look in your eyes when I said I love you
I can still feel the butterflies from when we stumbled home that night
I can't wait to make a million more first times
Mmm
Mmm
[PreChorus]
Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Outro]
The first kiss, first night, first song that made you cry
The first dance at moonlight in your parents' garden
I can't wait to see everything that's yet to be
Our first child, and then a million more first times
