I smile at photographs of you when you were young
I swell with pride at cups and prizes you have won
We've shared so many days together having fun
I've loved being your dad
We had so many years when it was just we two
And I did my best at all I had to do
You made me proud enough to try to write this song
I've loved being your dad
I can't imagine life without you here with me
Although I know you'll have to make your own
And when you need a helping hand right here I'll be
You'll never need to feel you're all alone
I've tried my best to make you ready for the world
For I know you'll soon become a woman not a girl
And I'll love you always, you'll forever be my only one
I've loved being your dad
And I hope in the future when you think of me
When I've become a star up in the sky
You look upon our time together happily
Then in your heart I know I'll never die
I don't know what the future holds for you
But I'm sure you'll always do the best that you can do
And I'm here forever no matter what you need
I'll always be your dad
