I Loved Her First Song Lyrics by Heartland
Look at the two of you dancin’ 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 world
I was enough for her not long agoI was her number one, she told me soAnd she still means the world to me, just so you knowSo be careful when you hold my girlTime changes everything, life must go onAnd I’m not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first, I held her firstAnd a place in my heart will always be hersFrom the first breath she breathedWhen she first smiled at me
I 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 fairytales toAnd tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with herIt was only a matter of timeI loved her first, I held her firstAnd a place in my heart will always be hersFrom the first breath she breathedWhen she first smiled at me
I 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 me
I knew the love of a father runs deepSomeday you might know what I’m goin’ throughWhen a miracle smiles up at youI loved her first
