[Verse 1]
A
Got four kids laughin’ out in the yard,
D A
Boy, they keep me runnin’, and they love me hard.
F#m D
Oldest bears his granddad’s name,
A E
He’s got that grin that’ll never fade.
⸻
[Verse 2]
A
The girls got fire, the youngest got fight,
D A
They’re all a little crazy, but they’re all just right.
F#m D
Sometimes I stop, take a look around,
A E
And I swear I hear my daddy’s sound.
⸻
[Chorus]
D A
He’d be smilin’ now, seein’ what I’ve done,
F#m D
Four little sparks all chasin’ the sun.
D A
Yeah, he stumbled, but he raised me proud,
E A
And I’m buildin’ on that love right now.
D A
He’d be laughin’ wide, sayin’, “Boy, slow down!”
F#m D
But I know deep down, somehow,
A E A
My old man — he’d be smilin’ now.
⸻
[Verse 3]
A
Sometimes I catch that mirror’s glare,
D A
See his eyes, his worn-out stare.
F#m D
But I ain’t runnin’ from his pain,
A E
I turned his lessons into rain.
⸻
[Bridge]
F#m D
He taught me how to work, how to stand my ground,
A E
How to fight for love and turn it around.
F#m D
He’s up there watchin’, no tears allowed,
A E
I can almost hear him laughin’ out loud.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
D A
He’d be smilin’ now, seein’ what I’ve done,
F#m D
Four little sparks all chasin’ the sun.
D A
Yeah, he stumbled, but he raised me proud,
E A
And I’m buildin’ on that love right now.
D A
He’d be laughin’ wide, sayin’, “Boy, slow down!”
F#m D
But I know deep down, somehow,
A E A
My old man — he’d be smilin’ now.
⸻
[Outro]
D A
Yeah, he’d be smilin’ now…
F#m D
Watchin’ me raise my crowd.
A E A
Yeah, my old man — he’d be smilin’ now.
