Dad

[Verse 1]
From the very first light of my early days,
Someone held me close through the hardest ways.
Hands that worked so hard, never asked for more,
A generous heart, an open door.
You loved me so hard, you loved me whole,
You healed the quiet corners of my soul.

[Chorus]
Oh Dad, you taught me how to stand,
Grace in your heart, strength in your hand.
Grateful for the man you'll always be,
The greatest gift that God gave me.

[Verse 2]
Singing in the car, that old song plays,
"What About Love" through the summer haze.
Joy in every room, you lit the way,
Living out a dream day after day.
You gave me your eyes, you gave me your name,
And out of all the dads, I'm glad you came.

[Chorus]
Oh Dad, you taught me how to stand,
Grace in your heart, strength in your hand.
Grateful for the man you'll always be,
The greatest gift that God gave me.

[Bridge]
I miss you when we're far apart,
But peace still lives inside my heart.
You're watching skies of gold catch fire,
Tennessee sunsets, higher and higher.

[Verse 3]
You accepted all that I could be,
Never once stopped believing in me.
Your guiding light still leads me home,
So I never have to walk alone.
Proud to be yours, I always will,
And Dad, I feel your love here still.

[Chorus]
Oh Dad, you taught me how to stand,
Grace in your heart, strength in your hand.
Grateful for the man you'll always be,
The greatest gift that God gave me.

[Outro]
So watch those sunsets, painted wide,
I carry you here, right by my side.
