I Loved Her First: N + M's Calgary Hospital Birth
“But I loved her first, 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
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first”
