Intro :
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're a lone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I 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 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 runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you some day
But it's still hard to give her a way
I loved her first
How could that beautiful w oman with you
Be the same fre ckled-face kid that I k new
The one that I read all th ose fairytales to
And tucked int o bed all those ni ghts
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was o nly 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 runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you some day
But it's still hard to give her a way
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at m e
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know w hat I'm goin' thro ugh
When a mir acle smiles u p at you
I loved her first
Ooh, ooh ...
