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 world
I was in love with 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 girl
Time changes everything, life must go on And I'm not gonna stand in your way
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 once did
And I prayed that she'd find you someday But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful woman with you Be the same freckled face, kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to Tucked in the bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her It was only a matter of time
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 once did
And I prayed that she'd find you someday But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed, when she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father once did
Someday you might know what I'm going through When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
I loved her first
