You bought my first guitar
and taught me how
to bait a hook
Got ice cream after
every game even when
I didn't play good
You caught me lying once
and made damn sure
I learned my lesson
But you held me
when I cried
and told me all 'bout
doggie heaven
Every spring you'd
twirl me round that
little high school gym
I'd look around so proud
to show you off
to my friends
Dad I hope you know
that I'm still standing
on your shoes
Cause there ain't
ever been a day
that I ain't needed you
In this world
that won't stop spinning
you don't let go
of my hand
Took growing up
to finally understand
the beauty of
the daddy daughter dance
If that boy
don't get my door
I hear you
preaching in my mind
Girl pay for your
own drink and leave
honey he ain't
worth the time
And those nights
we're sipping whiskey
talking life and good cigars
I look at you and know
it's gon' be hard
to find someone
that's ever gon' be
half the man you are
Dad I hope you know
that I'm still standing
on your shoes
Cause there ain't
ever been a day
that I ain't needed you
In this world
that won't stop spinning
you don't let go
of my hand
Took growing up
to finally understand
the beauty of
the daddy daughter dance
Ohh
One day my name'll change
from a Miss to a Mrs
We'll both be fighting tears
singing Butterfly Kisses
in the center
of that circle
smiling cause we know
this dance started
a long time ago
Dad I hope you know
I'll still be standing
on your shoes
Cause there won't ever
be a day
that I ain't needing you
In this world
that won't stop spinning
you don't let go
of my hand
Took growing up
to finally understand
the beauty of
a father's love
and the
daddy daughter dance
Mm daddy daughter dance
