Verse 1)
The lines on your face tell a story,
Of years that have passed, both bright and gory.
You've seen me through laughter, and tears I have cried,
A steady hand guiding, though feelings you hide.
It hasn't been easy, I know that is true,
Especially since Mom, we all lost her too.
(Chorus)
Maybe words aren't your forte, maybe you don't say much,
But the love in your actions, it means so very much.
From scraped knees and school plays to dreams in the night,
You've always been there, my guiding star, and my light.
Though we've had our ups and downs, like a ship in the storm,
I wouldn't trade you for anyone, Father, you keep me warm.
(Verse 2)
Twelve years old, lost and alone, I remember the haze,
You stepped up, no question, in a million different ways.
A dad and a mom both, you played every part,
A strength I admired right there from the start.
I know it wasn't simple, the burden you bore,
But you always made sure, I wanted for more.
(Chorus)
Maybe words aren't your forte, maybe you don't say much,
But the love in your actions, it means so very much.
From scraped knees and school plays to dreams in the night,
You've always been there, my guiding star, and my light.
Though we've had our ups and downs, like a ship in the storm,
I wouldn't trade you for anyone, Father, you keep me warm.
(Bridge)
We might not speak of the depths of our hearts,
But I see it in actions, right from the starts
The sacrifices you made, the things left unsaid,
They echo much louder than words in my head.
(Chorus)
Maybe words aren't your forte, maybe you don't say much,
But the love in your actions, it means so very much.
From scraped knees and school plays to dreams in the night,
You've always been there, my guiding star, and my light.
Though we've had our ups and downs, like a ship in the storm,
I wouldn't trade you for anyone, Father, you keep me warm.
(Outro)
Thank you, Dad, for everything you've done,
You’re the best father, beneath the sun.
More than words can ever convey,
I love you, Dad, every single day.
