I Loved Her First Lyrics - I Loved Her First - Heartland

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
