| Most nights I try to pack
|
| Got you climbing on my back
|
| Saying, «Daddy, when am I gonna see you again?»
|
| You know I gotta go out on the road
|
| And get on with the show
|
| So most nights your mama’s gonna tuck you in
|
| When you’re missing me look at the stars up there
|
| I’ll be wishing on the same ones and sing this fathers prayer
|
| I hope you see the seven wonders
|
| I hope you sail the seven seas
|
| I hope you let the whole world in your heart
|
| But you still got room for me
|
| I hope you find a guy that treats you right
|
| On your wedding night, I’ll raise a toast
|
| Hope he understands
|
| I’ll always be the man that loves you the most
|
| Summer’s gone and school is back
|
| It’s my turn to help you pack
|
| I’ll keep your room exactly how it is
|
| I know you gotta go out on your own
|
| I’m so proud of you, you know
|
| You’re the best thing that this old man ever did
|
| When I’m missing you and all the stars come out
|
| I sing this prayer when the quiet gets too loud
|
| I hope you see the seven wonders
|
| I hope you sail the seven seas
|
| I hope you let the whole world in your heart
|
| But you still got room for me
|
| I hope you find a guy that treats you right
|
| On your wedding night, I’ll raise a toast
|
| Hope he understands
|
| I’ll always be the man who loves you the most
|
| Trust your gut, hold your own
|
| But allow for doubtin' too
|
| Forgive the wrongs and love yourself
|
| That’s the hardest thing to do
|
| If your back’s against the wall, baby
|
| Come on home
|
| I’m always here for you
|
| And when you’ve seen the seven wonders
|
| When you’ve sailed the seven seas
|
| When you change the whole world with your heart
|
| I hope you think of me
|
| When I go to sing my final song
|
| Hope you celebrate and raise a toast
|
| If you cry, they’ll understand
|
| For the man who loved you the most |
