[Verse 1]
I was small in your shadow
Knees on the shag rug
You’d kneel down with a socket wrench
And make the broken look snug
[Pre-Chorus]
If the toaster stopped singing
If the hinge made a cry
You’d roll up your sleeves slow
And say, “Let me try”
[Chorus]
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
That was the whole wide world
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
For a little girl
[Verse 2]
You patched my toy airplane
With tape and a grin
You found the lost screw
Like it lived in your hand
[Pre-Chorus]
When the storm shook the windows
And I hid from the dark
You’d check every corner
Then kiss my hairline spark
[Chorus]
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
That was the whole wide world
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
For a little girl
[Bridge]
Now I’m grown and the cracks stay
Some are too deep for glue
Still I reach for your old way
When I don’t know what to do
[Chorus]
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
That was the whole wide world
Dad could fix it
Dad could fix it
For a little girl
[Outro]
If my heart comes apart
In the quiet of night
I still hear you say
“Hand it here, I’ll make it right”
