[Verse 1]
D
I’ve got four little blessings, runnin’ through this life,
G D
A boy and two sweet girls, then another boy in line.
Bm G
Each one’s got that fire, a light I used to see,
D A
It burns the way my daddy’s did in me.
⸻
[Verse 2]
D
My oldest bears his first name, proud as he can be,
G D
He’s got that steady stare and a quiet strength like me.
Bm G
The girls got his kindness, and that laugh so free,
D A
And my youngest, Lord, he’s wild as he could be.
⸻
[Chorus]
G D
I wish he could see what I see now,
Bm G
The life that grew from the seeds he plowed.
G D
He made mistakes, but he made me,
Em A
And I’m raisin’ them the way he taught to be.
G D
Yeah, I miss that man every day I breathe,
Bm G
God, I wish my father could see.
⸻
[Verse 3]
D
He left too early, took the hard way out,
G D
A heart gave up, but it’s love I think about.
Bm G
If he could meet my babies, he’d smile ear to ear,
D A
Say, “Son, you did good — I’m proud you’re here.”
⸻
[Bridge]
Bm G
Sometimes I hear his voice when I tuck them in at night,
D A
Tellin’ me to hold ‘em close, and raise ‘em right.
Bm G
He’s in their laughter, he’s in their eyes,
D A
In every little dream that touches the sky.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
G D
I wish he could see what I see now,
Bm G
Four little hearts he’d be so proud.
G D
He made mistakes, but he made me,
Em A
And I’m passin’ down his love through these memories.
G D
Yeah, I miss that man every day I breathe,
Bm G
God, I wish my father could see.
⸻
[Outro]
D G
He’d see the good in every one of them,
D A
The parts of him that still live on again.
G D
He’s gone, but he ain’t lost to me,
Bm G
’Cause in their hearts —
D A D
My daddy still breathes.
