Daddy

I remember

When you used to take

Me on a bike ride

Every day, on the bayou

(Remember that? We were inseparable?)

And I remember

When you could do no wrong

You'd come home from work

And I'd jump in your arms

When I saw you

(I was so excited)

I was so happy

(So happy to see you so happy to see you)

To see you

Ooh

Because you loved me

I overcome

And I'm so proud of what you've become

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

Treasure every irreplaceable memory

And that's why

I want my unborn son

To be like my daddy

I want my husband to

Be like my daddy

There is no one

Else like my daddy

And I thank you for lovin me

(Daddy daddy daddy)

I still remember

The expression your face

When you found out I'd been on a date

And had a boyfriend

(My first boyfriend, you shoulda seen your face)

I still remember

I called you crying coz of tattoo

Coulda said Beyonce I told you so

Instead you said you'd get one too

(Even my momma said y'all get one just like mine)

Words can't express my boundless gratitude

For you

I appreciate what you do, oh

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me

Cured my dissapointments and you healed my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

Treasure every irreplaceable memory and

That's why

I want my unborn son

To be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you (thank you) for lovin me

Even if my man broke my heart today,

No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay

Cuz I got a man in my life that can't be replaced

For this love is unconditional

It won't go away

And I know I'm lucky (lucky)

Know it aint easy

For men who take care of their responsibilities

Love is overwhelming

Lord why did you pick me

Can't stop my tear from falling

I love you so much daddy

Thank you

You've done so much for me

I love you,

Daddy

I get so emotional daddy

Every time I think of you

I get so emotional daddy

Every time I think of you

There is no one else like my daddy

No one will replace my daddy

Daddy daddy daddy daddy
