[Verse 1]
You taught me how to tie my shoes
And face the world when skies turn blue
With coffee cooling by the sink
You knew the words before I'd speak
You never needed grand displays
You showed your love in little ways
A jacket waiting by the door
Your steady hand, my safe front porch
[Pre-Chorus]
When I forget how strong I am
I hear your voice and understand
[Chorus]
Daddy, you make me feel seen
Loved in every in-between
Cared for when the road gets hard
You keep a lantern in my heart
From Sunday drives to county fairs
You find me joy and meet me there
I’m grateful for the life you’ve shown
Daddy, you made the world feel home
[Verse 2]
Our dates are just a booth for two
A milkshake split and talking through
You ask about the dreams I chase
Then smile like I can win the race
You listen close, you never rush
You turn a quiet day to gold
And every time I leave your side
I carry courage for the ride
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter where my footsteps roam
Your kindness keeps on leading home
[Chorus]
Daddy, you make me feel seen
Loved in every in-between
Cared for when the road gets hard
You keep a lantern in my heart
From Sunday drives to county fairs
You find me joy and meet me there
I’m grateful for the life you’ve shown
Daddy, you made the world feel home
[Bridge]
One day I’ll tell you face to face
How much your love has shaped my days
But if these words get caught somehow
I hope you feel them anyhow
[Final Chorus]
Daddy, you make me feel seen
Loved in every in-between
Cared for with that faithful heart
You’ve been my shelter from the start
For every date and every prayer
For all the love you’ve always shared
I’m grateful more than words can say
Daddy, I’ll love you all my days
[Outro]
My favorite place is by your side
Daddy, thank you for this life
