[Verse 1]
She came out mad, fists in the air
Didn’t want no swaddle, didn’t even care
About the world’s plans or what I’d say
She’s been strong-willed from her very first day
But I made a vow in that hospital light
To chase her love with all my might
Even when she pushes, I won’t let go
I’m your daddy, baby girl, and I need you to know
[Chorus]
You’re my only sunshine when skies turn gray
You’ll never know, dear, how I love you each day
Like a porcupine, you got your own way
But them needles won’t make me walk away
If you wander off lost, can’t find your flame
Just call on your father — I’ll answer the same
Every knock, every ring, I hope it’s you…
[Verse 2]
I see myself in your stubborn pride
That fire in your eyes you cannot hide
We butt heads, girl, like thunder and steel
But I’d still give anything just to help you heal
You’re busy living life, doing your thing
But I’m still here with a prayer and a dream
That one day you’ll stop by, just to say hi and
remind me, you’re okay
[Chorus]
You’re my only sunshine when skies turn gray
You’ll never know, dear, how I love you each day
Like a porcupine, you got your own way
But them needles won’t make me walk away
If you wander off lost, can’t find your flame
Just call on your father — I’ll answer the same
Every knock, every ring, I hope it’s you…
[Bridge]
And maybe we’ll never be perfectly close
But you got my heart, that’s what matters the most
If the world feels cold and you’re out on your own
Just remember, you ain’t ever alone
[Final Chorus]
You’re my only sunshine, forever you’ll be
The fire and the fight, the best part of me
Even if you’re silent, still far away
I’m loving you stronger with every day
When you’re ready to talk, when your heart wants to say—
“Hey Dad…” I’ll be here, I’ll be okay
Every knock, every ring, I hope it’s you…
If I ever dream I’m holding you in my arms, and if I awake and realize I was only dreaming… I’ll still take what I can get(always hoping)(always praying) love dad.
