Daddey

Early morning by the water's edge

Sunlight breaking through the pine

Sitting quiet on the riverbank

Daddey, help me cast this line

We don't need to say a single word

While we wait for the fish to bite

Having you right beside me here

Makes the heavy world feel light

I love you, Daddey, I just want you to know

You're my shelter when the cold winds blow

When the tears have fallen and the tears have dried

I'm so thankful to be sitting by your side

When the storms of life have come and swept

Daddey, you are all that I have left

Watching the bobber on the silver glass

Feeling the gentle morning breeze

I pray this moment never has to pass

Underneath the willow trees

You're the one who taught me to be strong

When the water gets too deep

You're the reason I can carry on

And the greatest gift I keep

I love you, Daddey, I just want you to know

You're my shelter when the cold winds blow

When the tears have fallen and the tears have dried

I'm so thankful to be sitting by your side

When the storms of life have come and swept

Daddey, you are all that I have left

Life has taken so much away

Left some empty spaces in my heart

But as long as we can fish today

I know we won't fall apart

We'll just reel it in and cast again

My father and my truest friend

I love you, Daddey, I just want you to know

You're my shelter when the cold winds blow

When the tears have fallen and the tears have dried

I'm so thankful to be sitting by your side

When the storms of life have come and swept

Daddey, you are all that I have left

Yes, Daddey, you are all that I have left
