[Verse 1]
I see you in their eyes
Oh
Every day
The way they smile
The things they say
A piece of you lives on
It never fades
But the ache
It stays
It stays
[Prechorus]
Your laughter’s gone
But it lingers near
I hold it close
I keep it here
[Chorus]
We never got to dance again (never dance)
The music stopped before it began (before it began)
I’ll hold our girls
I’ll hold them tight
Be the father we never had
Tonight
[Verse 2]
Your pain
It echoed from long ago
A shadow cast
A heavy load
But you still found a light
A way to glow
Now I carry it
I hope it shows
[Prechorus]
The weight you bore
It shaped my hands
I’ll lift them up
I’ll help them stand
[Chorus]
We never got to dance again (never dance)
The music stopped before it began (before it began)
I’ll hold our girls
I’ll hold them tight
Be the father we never had
Tonight
