Lyrics

Daddy

I remember
When you used to take me on a bike ride
Everyday on the Bayou
(You remember that? We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work
And I jumped in your arms when I saw you
(I was so excited)
I was so happy (So happy to see you), to see you

Because you loved me I overcome, yeah
And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (Thank you), for loving me
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy

I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date
And had a boyfriend (My first boyfriend, you shoulda seen your face)
I still remember I called you crying 'cause of my tattoo
Could have said, "Beyonce I told you so"
Instead you said you'd get one too
(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
Cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why

My unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay
'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional, it won't go away
And I know I'm lucky (Lucky)
Know it ain't easy (It ain't easy)
Men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy

Thank you
You've done so much for me
I love you daddy
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else can replace my daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy
