The Song talks about a man who's daughter has/is about to get married and some other guy loves her now, and the man says that "he loved her first" before the boyfriend/husband ever loved his daughter."I loved her first, I held her first,Had a place in my heart, that 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,I prayed that she'd find you someday, but its still hard to give her away,I loved her first."
