(E)Look at the two of you, (C#m7)danc in’ that way,

And she still (E)one means the world to me, (C#m7)just so you know.
So, be (A)care ful when (E)you hold my girl.
And (C#m)Time chang es ev ’ry thing, (A)life must go on and I’m (E)not gon na stand in your way.
(B)I loved her first,
I held her first and a place in my (A)heart will (E)al ways be hers.
From the (B)first breath she breathed, when she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a fa ther runs (F#m7)deep.
And I (F#m7)prayed that she’d find you some (A)day.
But it’s (F#m7)still hard to (E)give her a way;

(E)How could that beau ti ful (C#m7)wom an with you

I held her first and a place in my (A)heart will (E)al ways be hers.
From the (B)first breath she breathed, when she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a fa ther runs (F#m7)deep.
And I (F#m7)prayed that she’d find you some (A)day.
But it’s (F#m7)still hard to (E)give her a way;

From the (B)first breath she breathed, when she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a fa ther runs (F#m7)deep.
Some day you (F#m7)might know what I’m go in’ through,
when a (F#m7)mir a cle (E)smiles up at you.
(B7)I loved her first.
