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
