Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You weren't there for school nights Empty chair at the table again Mama said you loved me Just got lost along the way I learned how to tie my shoes And to hide when I was hurt But every time I blew a candle out Your name was in those words [Chorus] I still love you more than anything, Daddy More than all the miles that kept us apart More than every birthday picture With a space there in my heart You might feel like you don't deserve it Might not know how deep it runs But I still love you more than anything, Daddy I'm still your little one [Verse 2] I don't remember your old pickup Or the way your laughter sounds But I've carried you like a promise In a town you weren't around So if you feel like turning back I'll be standing in that drive You don't have to earn my love You just have to show up this time [Chorus] I still love you more than anything, Daddy More than all the miles that kept us apart More than every birthday picture With a space there in my heart You might feel like you don't deserve it Might not know how deep it runs But I still love you more than anything, Daddy I'm still your little one [Bridge] You missed so much, but you ain't missed your chance My arms are open if you just reach back [Chorus] 'Cause I love you more than anything, Daddy More than all the hurt I had to hide More than every lonely evening When I wished you were by my side You might feel like you don't deserve it But that love never came undone I still love you more than anything, Daddy I'm still your little one (yeah I'm still your little one)

country, Warm modern country ballad with gentle acoustic guitar, soft piano, and light brushy drums. Intimate female vocals up close at first; steel guitar and subtle harmonies bloom in the chorus. Second verse adds organ pad and low toms to lift the emotion. Final chorus strips back to guitar and voice for a tender, teary close.
