[Verse 1]
Tiny hand
Wrapped around my thumb
Midnight cries
I came stumbling, half undone
Rocking chair leaning
Old T-shirt, baby giggles
I swear time slowed down
With every little wiggle
[Chorus]
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
Better than the wild years
Better than the life I thought I’d live
From princess crowns on Sunday
To scraped knees in the yard we built
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
[Verse 2]
Backseat songs
French fries in their hair
First day of school
I pretended not to stare
Tiny backpacks swinging
They turned and waved at me
I cried in that pickup
Where no one else could see
[Chorus]
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
Better than the trophies
Better than the dreams I swore I’d win
From bedtime “one more story”
To sleepy “Daddy, just one kiss”
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
[Bridge]
One day they’ll drive off
With some boy and a moving van
I’ll stand in this driveway
Trying hard to be a brave old man
But I’ll thank the Lord above
For every messy, crazy year
’Cause loving them
Made my whole life clear
[Chorus]
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
Better than the paychecks
Better than the nights I used to spend
If I only get one chapter
To be proud of when I’m finished
Being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did
[Outro]
Yeah, being a dad to my girls
Is the best thing I ever did (oh, my girls)
The best thing I ever did
