If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
|
And there's no way to keep a cheery face
|
When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
|
And all your dreams have given up the chase
|
|
Pick up the telephone
|
You know I'm always home
|
Any old time of night or day
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
|
If you find a time when you just have to walk away
|
Because of a call to pastures new
|
You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
|
You need to fly on up and touch the moon
|
|
Sharing this temporary weight
|
No time to hesitate
|
I will be everything you need
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first ...
|
|
We're water breaking on an endless wave
|
Potential bursting from the sea
|
Compassion is what sets our minds apart
|
Be cheerful when you break
|
The chains of morality
|
|
Oo, sharing this welcome weight
|
Don't even hesitate
|
I will be everything you need
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first to know
|
Let me be the first one to know
|

LET ME BE THE FIRST TO KNOW
