Call You Daddy

Call You Daddy

 Dad, you gave up so much to make room for me

 Traded in your sports car for a little bigger backseat

 And all your guys’ nights out became girls’ nights in

 Braiding hair and having tea with all my make-believe friends

 And I appreciate it so much more now that I’m grown

 And while I’ve got you on the line, I want you to know

 We don’t get to choose our fathers

 But I would choose to be your daughter

 Even if I wasn’t already

 I couldn’t love you more

 There’s no one like you in this whole world

 And I’ll always be your baby girl

   I call you when I’m sad

   Call you when I’m happy

   And I’m so glad I get to call you Daddy

 You showed me how a man should treat a lady

 And put your family first

 And you taught me not to be afraid of

 A little hard work

 You set the bar real high

 For any other guy

 And didn’t let the bad ones hang around

 You knew better, and I see that now 

 We don’t get to choose our fathers

 But I would choose to be your daughter

 Even if I wasn’t already

 I couldn’t love you more

 There’s no one like you in this whole world

 And I’ll always be your baby girl

   I call you when I’m sad

   Call you when I’m happy

   And I’m so glad I get to call you

   I get to call you

 When I fall apart, you’re there to catch me

 You put my heart right back together when life wrecks me

 We don’t get to choose our fathers

 But I would choose to be your daughter

 Even if I wasn’t already

 I couldn’t love you more

 There’s no one like you in this whole world

 And I’ll always be your baby girl

   I call you when I’m sad

   Call you when I’m happy

   And I’m so glad I get to call you 

            When I’m sad

   When I’m happy

   And I’m so glad I get to call you, Daddy
