[Verse 1]
Tiny shoes by the door
Pink chalk on the floor
You run in yelling, “Dad!”
And my whole day gets more
Your laugh in the hall
Your hand in my palm
I tuck you in tight
Then I carry that calm
You got my stubborn eyes
And your mama’s grin
Whole world slows down
When you spin and spin
[Pre-Chorus]
When the room gets dark
I’m still right there
Hand on your back
Say a prayer, say a prayer
If you feel small
I’ll be the wall
I’m your first home
I’ll answer your call
[Chorus]
Nina daddy loves you
Nina daddy loves you
Say it all day
Say it all through
Nina daddy loves you
More than words do
When you feel scared
I’m right here with you
[Verse 2]
I know you get brave
Then you cry fast
That’s okay, baby
Big feelings don’t pass
Crayon on the wall
Rice on the seat
You make a little mess
And my heart skips a beat
I’m teaching you strength
In the way I move
Not every man leaves
Some men stay and prove
I’ll clap at your win
I’ll lift you up high
You can fall on my chest
You can reach for the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
When the room gets dark
I’m still right there
Hand on your back
Say a prayer, say a prayer
If you feel small
I’ll be the wall
I’m your first home
I’ll answer your call
[Chorus]
Nina daddy loves you
Nina daddy loves you
Say it all day
Say it all through
Nina daddy loves you
More than words do
When you feel scared
I’m right here with you
[Bridge]
One day you’ll run
Far past my knee
Still you’ll know
You can come back to me
If the world gets loud
And it pulls you thin
Hear my voice say
You can lean on him
[Final Chorus]
Nina daddy loves you
Nina daddy loves you
Say it all day
Say it all through
Nina daddy loves you
More than words do
No matter where you go
I’m right here with you
