I remember when you use to take me on a

Bike ride everyday on the bayou (you remember that? we were inseparable)

And I remember when you could do no wrong

You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you

I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)

Because you loved me I overcome

And I'm so proud of what you've become

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why...

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you for loving me

I still remember the expression on your face

When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend (my first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)

I still remember I called you crying cause of my tattoo

Could have said beyonce I told you so

Instead you said you'd get one too (even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you

I appreciate what you do

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understand my fears and you protected me

Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why...

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today

No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay

Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced

For this love is unconditional it won't go away

I know I'm lucky

Know it ain't easy

For men who take care of their responsibilities

Love is overwhelming

Lord why did you pick me

Can't stop my tears from falling

I love you so much daddy

(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)

I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you

I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you

There is no one else like my daddy

No one else replace my daddy...
