ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Jonathon Brannon was born in Las Vegas,NV and resides in beautiful Southern California.
I love writing lyrics. I have written more but only wanted to get what I thought were my best out. I believe in quality not quantity. I am always open to collaborating and look forward to it. Please feel free to submit your reviews. I hope these lyrics touch you in some way. [July 2006]

The First Days (Of The Rest Of Your Life) Jonathon Brannon
I made a choice today
To throw that damn bottle away
And with your love I think I can make it
I know you’ve heard that before
But I swear to you this time I’m sure
When you finally broke down I couldn’t take it
You believe in me like only a strong woman can
Despite your family’s ultimatums you stand by your man
I know even the proudest have their limits too
And I just can’t stand the thought of losing you
Chorus:
So I’m writing you this letter from the clinic today
The counselor here says I’m well on my way
Thirty days now and I feel so alive
Thank you for everything
And welcome to the first days of the rest of your life
2nd Verse:
Lord knows how many times
You cried yourself to sleep at night
While I was passed out on the bed
I’ve finally come to realize
That emptiness you felt inside
From the alcohol left on my breath
Lord knows I better change my ways
Cause I can’t stand to live like this another day
And you won’t always be there to catch my fall
I need to seek help before I lose it all
Chorus:
So I’m writing you this letter from the clinic today
The counselor here says I’ve come a long way
Sixty days now and I feel more alive
Thank you for everything
And welcome to the first days of the rest of your life
Bridge:
I’m a better man only because of you
I’m inspired by everything you do
Ninety days now and there’s a smile in my eyes
Thank you for everything
And welcome to the first days of the rest of your life
Ending/Fade Out:
I made a choice today
To throw that damn bottle away
And with your love I think I can make it
