Daddy and Friend

From the day you were born
I felt in my heart
The pride that you'd given to me
This wonderful gift
Such a beautiful child
Could only be sent heavenly

When you gripped your hand round my finger
I knew this bond started right then
Yes you were my son
And I was your daddy and friend
Those magical years watching you grow
From trains and planes to fashions and fads
Your mother and I are both thankful and proud
For lots of special moments we've had
But this old world can be tough
And I want you to hear
These words from my heart that I send
And I send them with love
Cause I am your daddy and friend
Hold your head high keep your guard up
Make your life better than mine
Keep true to your faith
Believe in yourself
Always give loved ones your time
Work hard and get right back up when you fall
See your jobs through to the end
And know that I love you
Cause I am your daddy and friend
From a boy to a man
Seems an instant in time
It's all been so fast how you've grown
It's sad when I think you'll be soon moving on
And you'll have some kids of your own
Oh but happy I'll be
If you keep to these words
And tell them to yours now and then
And show them you love them
And always be daddy and friend
So hold your head high
Keep your guard up
Make your life better than mine
Keep true to your faith
Believe in yourself
Always give loved ones your time
Work hard and get yourself up when you fall
See your jobs through to the end
And know that I love you
Cause I am your daddy and friend
Yes I am son
I'll always love you
Cause I am your daddy and friend
