Yes Daddy, I love you too,
And I will always look up to you.
The way you helped me to learn and to grow,
You're the strongest man I'll ever know.
You gave me anything I could ever need,
You're everything in life that I want to be.
I know you'll be there through the good and the bad,
Because it takes someone special to be a dad.

For me you opened all the doors,
To save my life, you would give up yours.
At the door with a loaded weapon you'll wait,
To deal with any boy that tries to take me on a date.
With you I know I am safe from any danger,
Protecting me is your second nature.
You gave me hugs and kisses if ever I was sad,
Because it takes someone special to be a dad.

If my feet got tired I rode on your back,
There's no good quality in this world that you lack.
You held my hand as we crossed the street,
With you every challenge was one I could beat.
You brushed my hair and tied my shoes,
I'm standing here because of you.
The best father anyone could have is the one that I had,
Because it takes someone special to be a dad.
