A Song for My Daughter - Traktor

Someone to play catch with, out in the backyard To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart Someone to say slow down when you turn 16 Yeah, I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be Someone to scare the monsters When it's dark in your room Someone to put their foot down When you want a tattoo And not just say I love you But show you what it means Yeah, I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid They say history repeats itself Well, I guess that's up to me Yeah, I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and how to be tough Yeah, I'll never be perfect But sure as those lines are pink Yeah, I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid They say history repeats itself Well, I guess that's up to me I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be Yeah, I can't change the past But the past has sure changed me I grew up without a dad I'm gonna be the best one I can be I said I'm gonna be a dad And I'm gonna be the best one I can be The best one I can be Love you, baby girl

You're gonna make the finest momma someday Some man will take you away But until then Chase down your dreams Laugh all the time and believe That love's gonna conquer all things So until then I'll be your man There was a time when I thought I knew love Until you came into this world Time keeps on flying But your always gonna be my baby girl So as you walk through this life you will see The world's what you want it to be But until then Go on and dance Dance like there's no one around Never stop singing out loud And until then I'll be your man There was a time when I thought I knew love Until you came into this world Time keeps on flying But your always gonna be my baby girl Go have a ball Take every chance that you make You know I'll be one call away I'll always be I'll always be your man Hold on child Hold on tight to your old man Hold on child Hold on tight to your old man I'm gonna hold you tight Under my wing long as I can Hold you tight Under my wing long as I can Hold on child (Sweet child of mine) Hold on tight to your old man Hold on child Hold on tight to your old man Hold you tight I'm gonna hold you tight Under my wing long as I can You're my, my, my, girl Under my wing long as I can I'll be your man.
