A Stab In The Heart

Since I don't have to go to work everyday now I sit here in the house listening to the radio all day (need background noise).

So I get to hear all the new songs that have come out (country music) and there is a new one out that just breaks my heart every single time I hear it. A stab in the heart if you will.

It's a song that speaks loudly to the one regret that I have in my life.

Artist: HEARTLAND Song Name: 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 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

Chorus:
But I Loved her first and I held her first
and a place in my heart I’ll 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

Chorus:
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

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…

It's a song about a dad looking at his daughter in her first dance with her husband. It's the newest song being played at weddings for the daddy-daughter dance.

Hence the greatest regret that I have in life, not being able to dance with my daddy at my wedding. It was a very crushing moment at my wedding when I realized that my dad wasn't there and I would never be able to dance with him. It's something that every little girl looks forward to all her life.

Even now when we go to a wedding I have to leave the room during that dance as I can't hold it together and just think how unfair it is.

So now, every couple hours I sit hear listening to that song thinking about what I missed out on.
