Lyrics for Song: I Loved Her First
Lyrics for Album: I Loved Her First
D Bm G G/F# Em A
D Bm
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
G G/F# Em A
Lost in the moment and each other's face
D Bm
So much in love, you're alone in this place
G G/F# Em A
Like there's nobody else in the world
D Bm
I was enough for her not long ago
G G/F# Em A
I was her number one, she told me so
D Bm
And she still means the world to me just so you know
G G/F# Em A
So be careful when you hold my girl
Bm G D A
Time changes everything, life must go on And I'm not gonna stand in your way
D Bm G G/F# Em
I loved her first, I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers
A D Bm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
G G/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G G/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
Em D/F# A
But it's still hard to give her away
D Bm G G/F# Em A
I loved her first
D Bm G G/F# Em A
How could that beautiful woman with you Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
D Bm G G/F# Em A
The one that I read all those fairytales to And tucked into bed all those nights
Bm G
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
D A
It was only a matter of time
D Bm G G/F# Em
I loved her first, I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers
A D Bm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
G G/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G G/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
Em D/F# A
But it's still hard to give her away
D
I loved her first
D Bm G G/F# Em
LEAD (Fiddle if ya got one)
D Bm
From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me
G G/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G G/F#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
Em D/F# A
When a miracle smiles up at you
D Bm G G/F# Em A D
I loved her first
