I loved her first

posted in Life, Parenting |

For you Daddy’s out there with little girls, you’ll cry all the way through this song - so, consider yourself forewarned. 

I just have to add that watching my husband with my daughter sometimes brings tears to my eyes.  I know how very special that Daddy/daughter dynamic can be and I hope that she’ll continue to have a very special relationship with her Daddy for her entire life.  This song so beautifully tells the story of a father’s love for his daughter.  Get out your hankies. 

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

    I should have put that in the post! It’s a band called “Heartland”.
