Growin' up just you and me
You were everything I wanted to be
You were strong, wise, and brave
Taught me God and you taught me trust
Taught me how to forgive and how to love
You always knew what to say

You showed me a man I wish I could be
But if I could just be happy it'd satisfy me
'Cause you smiled when I knew you were sad
You were laughin' at me just bein' bad
You were strong when I knew you felt weak
But you put on a suit and rescued me
You buried the pain and made the troubles leave
Daddy you were stronger than you let me see

I said Dad you taught me wrong from right
Never let me down and helped me when I cried
You were always there to pick me up
Now I'm a man and I'm livin' my life
Oh you set the bar real high
I was just s strong I didn't try

Showed me a man I wish I could be
But if I could just be happy it'd satisfy me
'Cause you smiled when I knew you were sad
You were laughin' at me just bein' bad
You were strong when I knew you felt weak
But you put on a suit and rescued me
You buried the pain and made the troubles leave
Daddy you were stronger than you let me see

Everyday that I see and talk to you
Makes me stronger in all that I do

'Cause you still smile when I know you are sad
You're still laughin' at me just bein' bad
You are strong when I know you feel weak
But you put on a suit and still rescue me
You bury the pain and make the troubles leave
Daddy you are stronger than you let me see
