Look at the two of you dancin' that way

So much in love, you're alone in this place

Like there's nobody else in the world

I loved her first, I held her first

I knew the love of a father runs deep
      F#m                E         A     A/G#             
And I prayed that she'd find you someday

I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you

Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew

And tucked into bed all those nights

I loved her first
