I Loved Her First - Heartland

Look at the two of you
Dancing that way
Lost in the moment
And each others face
So much in love
Your 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
And 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 still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful
Women with you
Be the same freckle face
Kid that I knew
The one that I read
All those fairy tales 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

But I loved her first
And 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 its 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
