I Loved Her First Lyrics

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
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's 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

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 mother 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 mother runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

This is an amazing song. I cry every time I hear it. I just wish I had a father to share it with.

Cover art for I Loved Her First lyrics by Heartland

The song is about a father's love for his daughter that is getting married (pretty simple).

For me, I think of it in terms of my daughter. Only instead of getting married, she died and went to heaven. In the quiet of the morning of July 5, I watched as she took her last few breaths and went to join our Heavenly Father. I knew that once she saw heaven, there was no way that she would come back to me.
