Your Dad

Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you've planned Sometimes life happens in ways too hard to understand The news that I received today Has taken all my breath away But I am promising you right now That I'll be with you always, somehow Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart Standing by your side or in your heart Maybe in a sunset or a prayer When you go on your first date And can't figure out what to say When you get behind the wheel and Have your first taste of freedom When you're smilin' for the camera At your high school formal dance and When you're walking across that stage With your whole future a blank page Please remember I'm going to be there 'Cause I promise you right now That I'll be with you always, somehow Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart Standing by your side or in your heart Face-to-face or as a memory Keep your eyes open and you'll see That through the good times and the bad I will forever be your dad If you're tryin' to get ahead But the results are better left unsaid And you're on the edge, about to quit 'Cause you just can't get the pieces to fit When your heart is broken by some fool Who dunno know what he's done to you Or you just need some advice on life 'Cause nothing seems to be going right You have to know I'll always be there 'Cause I promise you right now That I'll be with you always, somehow Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart Standing by your side or in your heart Face-to-face or as a memory Keep your eyes open and you'll see That through the good times and the bad I will forever be your dad I will forever be your dad 'Cause I promise you right now That I'll be with you always, somehow Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart Standing by your side or in your heart Face-to-face or as a memory Keep your eyes open and you'll see That through the good times and the bad I will forever be your dad I will forever be your dad
