From the day you first held me in your arms
You knew you loved me
You knew you'd guide and teach me
You dreamed a thousand dreams for your baby girl
And as I grew, you taught me how to live
You showed me what love means
I learned to trust you, Daddy
I learned you are my refuge
And I just wanna say
Thank you, Daddy, for all you've done
For loving me and teaching me
Thank you for the fun we've had
But most of all, thanks for showing me God's love
Through the days you've watched me grow
You never dreamed how fast it'd go
But you stayed with me from babe to teen
Some dreams I've fulfilled, others I have not
But through it all, you were always my friend
You taught me who God is
I grew to think like you
I grew to love God from you
And I just wanna say
Thank you, Daddy, for all you've done
For loving me and teaching me
Thank you for the fun we've had
But most of all, thanks for showing me God's love
Through the years we've had much fun
Tying shoes and hiking through the woods
Late night talks, tears shed, smiles shared
Daddy, you've always been there
Thank you, Daddy, for all you've done
For loving me and teaching me
Thank you for the fun we've had
But most of all, thanks for showing me God's love
