Verse 1)
I still remember that hospital light,
When Brooke Lynne came cryin’ into my life.
Held her close, my world stood still,
The toughest man turned soft for real.
The most beautiful girl I’d ever seen,
Changed what forever means.
(Chorus)
These are the days of being a dad,
Tryin’ to give ‘em more than what I had.
Don’t always know what I’m doin’, that’s true,
But I’m learnin’ life through what they do.
Every laugh, every tear I’ve had,
Yeah, these are the days of being a dad.
(Verse 2)
Then came Jordon Scott, my little man,
With my own eyes starin’ back at me again.
A new kind of pride, a deeper fire,
He made me wanna climb a little higher.
Thought my heart was full till he came along,
Turns out love just keeps growin’ strong.
(Chorus)
These are the days of being a dad,
Tryin’ to give ‘em more than what I had.
Don’t always know what I’m doin’, that’s true,
But I’m learnin’ life through what they do.
Every laugh, every tear I’ve had,
Yeah, these are the days of being a dad.
(Bridge)
Then little Christopher Dylan came my way,
A sweet boy with a smile that brightens any day.
Felt like I finally built a home,
Even when life said, “You’re on your own.”
Their mama and me, we had to part,
But they’ll always live inside my heart.
(Verse 3)
Years rolled by, I found my peace,
Until one day, love found me.
A baby girl, Jakobie Jean,
Perfect little angel, sweetest I’ve seen.
She’s got her mama’s grace and my old grin,
The best part of life starts again.
(Final Chorus)
These are the days of being a dad,
Tryin’ to give ‘em more than what I had.
Might stumble, might fall, but I’ll always stand,
Right behind ‘em, with a steady hand.
Every dream that they’ve ever had,
Yeah, these are the days…
These are the days…
Of being a dad.
(Outro)
From Brooke Lynne’s cry to Jakobie’s smile,
I’d walk that road a thousand miles.
It ain’t easy, but I’m proud of the man I’ve become,
‘Cause I’m their dad — and that’s enough.
