[Verse]
They say you held me once or twice,
Before you slipped into the skies.
I don’t remember the sound of your voice,
But your name is something I never lost.
Photos fade and stories dim,
But I still search for you in him—
In every man who shows up strong,
I wonder what it’s like to belong…
[Chorus]
So this Father’s Day, I close my eyes,
And whisper to the empty sky.
Though you’re not here to see the man I am,
I hope you’d be proud, I hope you’d understand.
There’s a space that no one else could ever have—
And I still call you Dad.
[Verse]
I’ve heard you laughed like I do now,
And had that stubborn, thoughtful brow.
They say your hands were rough and kind,
And your heart was a rare kind to find.
I don’t need a tie or card to send—
Just a quiet moment now and then.
To tell you how I’ve tried to live,
With every ounce of strength you’d give…
[Chorus]
So this Father’s Day, I raise my head,
And speak to you in prayers unsaid.
Though I never got to walk hand in hand,
I’ve walked this life the best I can.
There’s a place inside that time can’t ever grab—
And I still call you Dad.
[Bridge]
And maybe one day we’ll meet again,
Beyond the stars, beyond the end.
But ‘til that day, I’ll hold you close—
In every tear, in every toast.
[Chorus]
So this Father’s Day, I let you know,
I love you more than I could ever show.
Though I never had the chance to hear your laugh,
Your love still echoes in my path.
I carry you in every dream I’ve ever had—
And I still call you Dad.
