| An early riser, always on timer
|
| A back breaker, giver not a taker
|
| Made sure nothin' was missin'
|
| So we could have everything you didn’t
|
| A patient teacher, strong steady leader
|
| Firm hand shaker, never met a stranger
|
| Tough as steel, heart of gold
|
| It took a while, but now I know
|
| All the little life lessons
|
| But you never expected
|
| A thank you, a pat on the back
|
| You did what you did, no questions asked
|
| I could never say enough through the downs and the ups
|
| You carried the weight so we’d have a good life
|
| Raised us with love so we could fly
|
| Anyone else would call you Superman
|
| But I just call you dad
|
| A spirit lifter, problem fixer
|
| Words of reason, there when you need em'
|
| Calm you down, set you straight
|
| Yeah, I appreciate
|
| All the little life lessons
|
| But you never expected
|
| A thank you, a pat on the back
|
| You did what you did, no questions asked
|
| I could never say enough through the downs and the ups
|
| You carried the weight so we’d have a good life
|
| Raised us with love so we could fly
|
| Anyone else would call you Superman |
| But I just call you dad
|
| I just call you when I’m lost, when I’m empty
|
| When I need a little help
|
| Whenever I get good news
|
| You’re the first one I wanna tell
|
| So I wanna thank you, give you a pat on the back
|
| For doin' what you did, no questions asked
|
| I could never say enough through the downs and the ups
|
| You carried the weight so we’d have a good life
|
| Raised us with love so we could fly
|
| Anyone else would call you Superman
|
| And I am the man that I am
|
| Because I call you dad |
