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 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      But 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 someday   But it's still hard to give her away   I loved her first      How 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 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 runs deep      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 runs deep      Someday you might know what I'm going through   When a miracle smiles up at you   I loved her first
