Daddy

I stumble, I fall and tears start flowing, I look up, and I see him running to me, even so knowing, That his little girl fell, and was crying out her heart Even if he told her not to do it, right from the start. Regret, pain, and tears sweep over me, As I look up into the eyes, of my dear Daddy, Who picks me up with my knees so blue, And my heart even broken in two. My Daddy holds me closer to his chest As words spilled out and I confessed My Daddy squeezed me tighter in his arms And yet the pain of my heart still burns. I cry, I cry, and still my Daddy comforts me He knows I did wrong, yet he says he still loves me He tells me everything will be okay, And kisses me on the forehead anyway. Even when I run, and scream and shout, My Daddy came after me, without a doubt And protected me from my own mistakes And from the boys who caused so many heartbreaks. My Daddy, who always picks me up when I fall, Teaches me, guides me, and protects me, He laughs with me, and smiles with me overall, And my Daddy, he doesn’t give up on me. When I do run, and even when I do fall again, I know I have my Daddy, behind me to sustain To pick me up, to comfort, and to encourage me Because I know, my Daddy, will always be my Daddy. My Daddy, my sweet, sweet Daddy, Will one day have to give a yes for me to marry, And even on that day, when I dance with a twirl; I will always go sit on his lap, as his little girl. My Daddy, my sweet, sweet Daddy, How do I put into words? The deep love I have that I carry For you, my sweet, sweet Daddy. My Daddy, I cherish and adore you, For you are what a Dad looks like, always to look up to My Daddy, I love you, I so dearly love you, Forever I’ll be, your daughter, so true.
