Heartland - I Loved Her First Lyrics

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love you're alone in this place
Like theres 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 im not gunna 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 its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you
Be that same freckled 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

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 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
So yeah you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
Yeah I loved her first
