I would ride on your shoulders

To catch me if I fall

And 'cause you're my Dad...
G C
I'm twice as blessed and lucky to be me
As I kept on growing
We often disagreed
But you let me find myself in my own way
And it's funny, how just lately
I've come to recognize
How wise you are becoming every day
There's so much you've given me
I hope I've made you proud
You're everything a Dad should be
And it's time to tell you now
