[Intro – Soft guitar] Yeah… first time, little man… First book tonight… [Verse 1] You climbed up in my lap with that book in your hands Big brown eyes looking up at your old man Never done this before, but you knew just what to do Picked it out yourself and said “Daddy, read to you” Pages turning slow under the bedside light Your little fingers pointing at pictures so bright I stumble through the words, voice cracking just a bit ‘Cause this moment hit me harder than I’ll ever admit [Pre-Chorus] All the chaos, all the noise… [Chorus] First book tonight, my heart’s overflowing You brought it to me, no words needed showing From DoorDash runs to silly songs in the truck Now you’re teaching me love with one little book First book tonight… Sebastian my boy You just made your daddy the happiest in the world These simple moments, they’re the real gold First book tonight… worth more than anything I’ve ever been told [Verse 2] We’ve sang about quantum plants and giggle wiggles too But nothing hits quite like sitting here with you Your head on my chest, breathing soft and slow World outside fading, just us in this glow I used to wonder if I was doing this right But you chose me tonight, under the reading light Every page we turn feels like a brand new start My youngest son stealing this old heart [Bridge – Softer, emotional] Doesn’t matter what the story said It’s the fact you brought it… right to my bed Little legs swinging, smile so wide This is the stuff that keeps a father alive [Final Chorus – Warmer with light harmonies] First book tonight, my heart’s overflowing You brought it to me, no words needed showing From the wild days and the jokes we make To quiet nights where real memories take shape First book tonight… Sebastian my son You just showed me forever has already begun These simple moments, they’re the real gold First book tonight… I’ll cherish and hold [Outro – Gentle guitar fade] Yeah… first book tonight… Love you, little buddy… Can’t wait for the next one…
