"I Loved Her First"

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 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.

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-

(father-daughter dance)

How could that beautiful woman with you

Be the same freckle faced 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

I loved her first.

Someday you might know what I'm going through

When a miracle smiles up at you

We loved her first-song by Heartland

My niece, Kelsey Lee Childress, and Travis Lee Miller were married on October 10, 2009 at Praire Hills Covenant Church in Sioux Falls, SD-I had the honor of singing, "Love Will Be Our Home". God Bless you Always!!!
