i remember
when you used to take me on a bike ride every day on the bayou
(remember that? we were inseparable?)
and i remember when you could do no wrong
you come home from work
and i jump in your arms when i saw you
(i was so excited)
i was so happy
(so happy to see you so happy to see you)
to see you
ooh
because you loved me
i overcome
and i´m so proud of what you´ve become
you´ve given me such security
no matter what mistakes i make you´re there for me
you cure my disappointments and u heal my pain
you understood my biz and you protected me
i treasure every year in place a comemory
and thats why i want my unborn son
to be like my daddy
i want my husband to be like my daddy
there is no one else like my daddy
and i thank you for lovin me
(daddy daddy daddy)
i still remember the expression your face when you found out
i´d been on a date and had a boyfriend
(my first boyfriend, you shoulda seen your face)
i still remember i called you cryin
cuz of my tattoo coulda said "beyonc© i told ya"
so instead you said you´d get one too
(you and my momma said yall´d get one just like mine)
words cant express my boundless gratitude for you
i appreciate what you do oh
you´ve given me tight security
no matter what mistakes i know you´re there for me
cute my disappointments and heal my pain
you understood by biz and you protected me
i treasure every extraordinary memory
that´s why
i want my unborn son
to be like my daddy
i want my husband to be like my daddy
there is no one else like my daddy
and i thank you (thank you) for lovin me
even if a man broke my heart today
no matter how much pain i´m in i would be ok
cuz i got a man in my life that can´t be replaced
his love is unconditional
it won´t go away
and i know i´m lucky (lucky)
know it aint easy
men? who take care of their responsibilities
love is overwhelming
??
stop a tear from falling
i love you so much daddy
thank you
you´ve done so much for me
i love you,
daddy
i´m so emotional daddy
every time i think of you
i get emotional daddy
every time i think of you
there is no one else like my daddy
no one will replace my daddy
daddy daddy daddy daddy
