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
He stood at the top of the stairs, glancing at the happy couple below. A sense of pride came over him, making his turquoise eyes sparkle. He couldn't help but smile at the two on the dance floor.
She's been his everything since Lindsay passed away. The doctors said that she bled to death after giving birth and everyday after her death, life has been a struggle. It's been hard to comprehend life without his Montana, but once he saw the twinkle in his newborn daughter's eyes, he understood what life finally meant.
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
There were many times he wanted to give up. To just release her to the state because he thought he couldn't handle his daughter, Lacy. The 2:00 am feedings nearly killed him. Without the help of Stella, his CSI crew, and his parents, he would have thrown in the towel. But he just couldn't bring himself to make the call, just couldn't.
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
He became real-life Mr. Dad, making lunches, taking Lacy to soccer practice and reading bedtime stories. When she had nightmares, it was him that chased the monsters away. It was during these times, he thought of Lindsay, but he also knew that she was watching down at him and he knew she would be pleased.
Years had passed and Lacy went off to college. She begged her father to have a life and to find someone who would make him happy just like her mother did. He met a woman named Felicity who made him happy and Lacy was pleased.
He got a call from Lacy and he said that she met someone. His name was Cameron and he was a pre-med major at her school. He was happy, but all the protective fatherly instincts kicked in. When Lacy brought him home for Thanksgiving, he tried to find something wrong with him, but he couldn't. When Cameron proposed to Lacy, he was stunned but happy. And it was bittersweet.
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
Looking around at the ballroom at the reception hall that was decorated for the reception, he was pleased. Feelings spoke louder than words and he wanted to make sure Cameron knew that Danny loved her first. As a father, he had that right. Memories of her in her pink jumper clouded his judgment. But he knew that he had to let her go, but he loved her first.
The end.
