[Intro] F [Verse 1]
   Dm
It began

       C             Am
With a whisper in my ear:

               Bb
"I think it's time."

      Dm         C                    Bb
Suddenly all we held dear was on the line.

        C                 Am                 Bb      Dm C
As your heart measured in mountains fell and climbed.

       Bb
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

F Dm
Amen.

[Verse 3]
Dm            Bb                 F
She drew her first breath out of what love meant.

       Bb                        C                  Dm
In my heart, reconciled all the darkness and light inside my chest.

       Bb
As her hands held tight.

        F        C                Dm               C
And her eyes met mine, I saw the future unfold in silver and gold.

And I'm already proud.

The better version of our past.

From the start of life.

Dm                   C
What a privilege to love you,

To teach you all that we know.

Dm                   C                    Bb                     F
To watch you build a collection of dreams that you can call your own.
