Lyrics
I Didn?t See It The First Time
Intro: Harmonica mimics string and bell melody
Verse I Harmonica lays-out in this verse
An awkward child new roller skates falls in her knees
Daddy it was so painful but I stood to my feet
You taught me determination with a twinkle in your eyes
And it feels like yesterday ?cause I can still hear you say
Chorus I
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
Are you sure it really hurts, I didn?t feel a thing
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
Verse II Harmonica plays ?fills? in this verse
A teenage girl a pink corsage first date memories
Daddy my heart was broken again I stood to my feet
I was a rebel full of fire just like the days when you were young
Dad it feels so much like yesterday ?cause I can hear you say
Chorus II
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
Are you sure it really hurts, I didn?t feel a thing
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
Key Change ? Harmonica Solo (½ Verse into ½ Chorus)
Verse III
For a moment time stood still with my little girl
I saw you smile Daddy with a twinkle in your eyes
Through your eyes I felt the wonder of surprise until she fell
Daddy it feels so much like yesterday ?cause now I can say,
Chorus III Harmonica does fills and plays tag line out
Get up and it do it again Emma Rae
I didn?t see it the first time
Are you sure it really hurts, I didn?t feel a thing
Get up and it do it again Emma Rae
I didn?t see it the first time
Bridge: Please make!
It means far more today Daddy it was only yesterday
We both have you to guide us like a beacon through the storm
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
Are you sure it really hurts, I didn?t feel a thing
Get up and do it again Sharon Ann
I didn?t see it the first time
