Woodhill Ave. - She Was Mine Lyrics

From the first day that I seen that smile
To the very first time she cried
I stared into those light blue eyes
Somehow I saw mine

She smiled every morning
There was a fire beneath her wings
The world wasn't ready for a girl like her
Somehow she came to me

A heart of gold and a love for life
Letting go is not my style

She was mine before he knew her
She was mine in the life before
We'd spoke about her plans someday
I don't recall his name at all

Perhaps I wasn't listening
Or I was hoping it was all lies
'Cause before he came and stole her heart
She had stolen mine

She dreamed about this day to come
And I dreamed it'd never come true
Pardon me while I wish it away
It's what dads are supposed to do

It's the best day of her new life
And the very worst day of mine
Seeing her walking down that aisle
Brings tears to my eyes

All dressed in white
Someone turn back time

She was mine before he knew her
She was mine in the life before
We'd spoke about her plans someday
I don't recall his name at all

Perhaps I wasn't listening
Or I was hoping it was all lies
'Cause before he came and stole her heart
She had stolen mine

Her leaving me wasn't part of my plans but
She holds the world in her hands
She was mine

Thought there was time
Before he took her

She was mine before he knew her
She was mine in the life before
We'd spoke about her plans someday
I don't recall his name at all

Perhaps I was thinking
That only I was Mr. Right
'Cause before he came and stole her heart
Before he came and stole her heart

She was mine

This family began with you
I owe you all that I am

She was mine

Forever I'll carry your name
And yours I'll remain till the end

Dad I'm here
