A Father’s Wish :)
Darling told me one day……
Darling : I will sing this song for my daughter on her wedding.
Me : What if you don’t have a daughter?
Darling : I will modify the song to suite my son’s wedding.
I was thinking – What is so great about this song coz my Darling hardly sing?
“I Loved Her First” – by Heartland
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
Tears started to drop when I browsed through the 2nd stanza. This is definitely a great song with very touching lyrics. Now I feel like having a daughter so that her Daddy can sing this song on her wedding.
My aunties cried when they see their daughters being led away by the groom. Yet they didn’t cry when seeing their sons brought home the bride. Funny isn’t it?
