Lyrics
TO BE YOUR DADDY
I remember the first time that I held you in my hands
On a warm July Monday in Tennessee
Standing there in that hospital room,
I swear I've never felt love like that
I was so proud to be your daddy
Every day when I'd get home you would be my princess
At five years old you held my heart in your hands
From your first ballet class
to our first father-daughter dance
I was so proud to be your daddy
From your first ride on that brand new purple bike
To that day I helped you learned to drive a car
The years flew past and this life it moves too fast
But I can see God's hand in the person that you are
I still get all torn up when I get to watch you dance
The woman that you're becoming amazes me
No matter what your life brings, ill be your biggest fan
And I'm so proud, to be your daddy
This year you walked (proud) in your graduation gown
And I held back tears as I heard them call your name
I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart
Whether you succeed or fail I'll feel the same
'Cause I am proud, to be your daddy
And I am so blessed, to be your daddy
I will always be proud to be your daddy
