You woke me up before the sun, those cold and quiet hunts
Just coffee in your old truck, teaching me what patience was
I’d sit there half asleep, but I’d never trade those days
Cause I learned more in that silence than a thousand words could say
Friday nights were riding high, shotgun in your semi seat
Washing it down every week, laughing in that summer heat
And all those little things you did, they made me who I am
Just a little girl growing up with her biggest fan
Dad I hope you know I’m still standing on your shoes
From dirt track nights to wins I got to share with you
Every victory lane, you were right there by my side
The first one that I would look for every single time
In this world that won’t stop spinning, you don’t let go of my hand
Took growing up to finally understand
The beauty of the daddy daughter dance
If that boy don’t get my door, I hear you in my mind
All the ways you showed me love, the patient, steady kind
And those late night talks we had still carry me so far
I look at you, and know I’ve had it from the start
A kind of love that taught me who I am today
Dad I hope you know I’m still standing on your shoes
Cause there ain’t ever been a day I didn’t need you
In this life that keeps on moving, you’ve been my ground
Even when I never said it out loud
Today my name will change, from Wagner to Bergstrom
We’ll both be holding back tears, thinking ‘bout these years we’ve lived in
Standing in that circle, smiling cause we know
This dance started a long, long time ago
But Dad I hope you know I’ll still be standing on your shoes
Even when my whole world starts to look brand new
In this life that won’t stop spinning, I’ll still reach for your hand
Now I finally understand
The beauty of a father’s love and the daddy daughter dance
