Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still set your coffee
On the counter some days
Talk to your old ball cap
Like you never went away
I hear your Sunday laughter
In my little boy’s grin
Every time the screen door creaks
Feels like you’re walkin’ in
[Chorus]
So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?”
When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see
I feel you in that gentle breeze
Brushin’ tears right off my cheek
You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free
You’re not here, but you’re still here
Right at home inside of me
[Verse 2]
I still hear your gravel voice
Say, “girl, just do your best”
When the world gets heavy
I can feel you in my chest
You’re the steady in my shaking
Every time I stand alone
You taught me where my roots are
Now they’re deeper than the stone
[Chorus]
So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?”
When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see
I feel you in that gentle breeze
Brushin’ tears right off my cheek
You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free
You’re not here, but you’re still here
Right at home inside of me
[Bridge]
I can’t hold your hand
But I can hold your words
In the quiet of the night
Every promise still heard
When the branches start to sway
And the porch light softly swings
I swear I hear you say
“I’m right here in everything” (mm)
[Chorus]
So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?”
When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see
I feel you in that gentle breeze
Brushin’ tears right off my cheek
You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free
You’re not here, but you’re still here
Right at home inside of me
[Outro]
You’re my daddy on the wind
Right at home inside of me
