Look at the two of you dancin' 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 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 freckled-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 LEAD (Fiddle if ya got one) 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 goin' through When a miracle smiles up at you I loved her first
