Happy Father's Day

I know it's a bit late, but, ... I heard this song yesterday and immediately thought of my dear hubby. I found the song on You Tube so that I could listen to it while I was typing up this post. This conversation occurred at the table where I'm typing (my girls are working on 'art' today).

K1: We heard that song yesterday at the wedding.
K2: We also heard it at the restaurant before we saw Wall E
K1: No we didn't
Me: Yes we did
K2: Daddy said it made him want to cry
K2: Why doesn't Daddy ever want us to grow up?

That makes me want to cry! I just love the girls so much! I wonder why I've been so short of patience with them today.



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

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
