Daddy

When my mother turned her back and walked away

You didn't hesitate, you told me I could stay

No questions asked, you just pulled me near

My protector, wiping every single tear

You’ve always been there, whatever I would need

A steady kind of love, guaranteed

I know I haven't been the easiest child

Got your stubborn heart and your spirit wild

I'm the female version of you, it's true

And you never gave up, never pushed me away

You loved me through the dark and the light of day

I'll always be your little girl, through the tests

I love you, Daddy, in this lifetime and the next

These past few months staying at the camper with you

Gave me a whole new point of view

Taught me to be thankful for the things I hold

And how to stand on my own when the world gets cold

I learned to depend on myself and stay strong

'Cause tomorrow ain't promised, it could be gone

I know I haven't been the easiest child

Got your stubborn heart and your spirit wild

I'm the female version of you, it's true

And you never gave up, never pushed me away

You loved me through the dark and the light of day

I'll always be your little girl, through the tests

I love you, Daddy, in this lifetime and the next

When the other six turned their backs on you

I was always there, and you know that's true

We both got our edges, we both got our pride

But I will never leave my father's side

Thank you for holding on when things got rough

Your unconditional love is more than enough

I know I haven't been the easiest child

Got your stubborn heart and your spirit wild

I'm the female version of you, it's true

And you never gave up, never pushed me away

You loved me through the dark and the light of day

I'll always be your little girl, through the tests

I love you, Daddy, in this lifetime and the next
