Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the worldI was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one, she told me so
And she still means the world to me, just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girlTime changes everything, life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your wayBut I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deepAnd I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her firstHow could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
And tucked into bed all those nightsAnd I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of timeI loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deepAnd I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her firstFrom the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deepSomeday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
