Dad

I still see you standing by that painted soccer line

Cheering in the weekend sun, giving me your time

Through every single season and every childhood game

Your patience was a steady fire that always burned the same

You are the best father a kid could ever know

The one who walked beside me and taught me how to grow

You’re my rock, my guiding star, my best friend through it all

The first one that I look for, the first one that I call

I love you more than life itself, I hope you always see

The man who gave me everything is everything to me

We'd gather up at Grandma's on a busy Christmas Eve

And find a quiet corner when we needed room to breathe

Sharing confident discussions while the evening hours passed

Building up a bond between us that was always gonna last

You are the best father a kid could ever know

The one who walked beside me and taught me how to grow

You’re my rock, my guiding star, my best friend through it all

The first one that I look for, the first one that I call

I love you more than life itself, I hope you always see

The man who gave me everything is everything to me

A lot of folks have heroes they only see from far away

But mine was right beside me every step and every day

From the sidelines of my childhood to the person I am now

You supported every dream, Dad, and always showed me how

You are the best father a kid could ever know

The one who walked beside me and taught me how to grow

You’re my rock, my guiding star, my best friend through it all

The first one that I look for, the first one that I call

I love you more than life itself, I hope you always see

The man who gave me everything is everything to me
