I love her first
Look at the two of you dancing that wayLost in the moment and each other's faceSo much in love you're alone in this placeLike there's nobody else in the worldI was enough for her not long agoI was her number oneShe told me soAnd she still means the world to meJust so you knowSo be careful when you hold my girlTime changes everythingLife must go onAnd I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her firstAnd a place in my heart will always be hersFrom the first breath she breathedWhen she first smiled at meI knew the love of a father runs deepAnd I prayed that she'd find you somedayBut it's still hard to give her awayI loved her first
How could that beautiful woman with youBe the same freckle face kid that I knewThe one that I read all those fairy tales toAnd tucked into bed all those nightsAnd I knew the first time I saw you with herIt was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her firstAnd a place in my heart will always be hersFrom the first breath she breathedWhen she first smiled at meI knew the love of a father runs deepAnd I prayed that she'd find you somedayBut it's still hard to give her awayI loved her first
From the first breath she breathedWhen she first smiled at meI knew the love of a father runs deepSomeday you might know what I'm going throughWhen a miracle smiles up at youI loved her first
