You came into our lives like a gentle breeze
When things were uncertain, and our world was on its knees
You stepped in with kindness, and a heart full of care
Never tryin' to take anyone's place, just bein' there
You were the rock we needed, the steady hand
Quietly supportin' us, through life's toughest plans
Through wild teenage years, and all the struggles we'd face
You were the constant, the safe and peaceful place
You were the dad you didn't have to be
A father figure, in every way
You chose to love us, to guide us through
And we're forever grateful, for all you do
You taught me what to look for, in a man so fine
Someone with a heart like yours, kind and divine
I wanted someone like you, with a love so true
And when the day arrived, you walked me down the aisle, proud and strong, shinin' through
You helped plan that weddin', and helped build me into that women
You deserved that spot at the beginning of that aisle.
You shared your Caseville home, and later gave us Old Sand to make memories with our families, in a warm and lovin' space
You were the dad you didn't have to be
A father figure, in every way
You chose to love us, to guide us through
And we're forever grateful, for all you do
You fixed furnaces, built fences too
Installed values, that will forever shine through
You inspired my husband, to be a good man
A legacy of love, that will forever stand
The most amazing thing, is you didn't have to do what you’ve done.
You chose to be our dad, our father, our Papa, and we can't deny
The love and sacrifices, you've made for our sake
We're so grateful, for the love that you've shown, and the memories we've made
You were the dad you didn't have to be
A father figure, in every way
You chose to love us, to guide us through
And we're forever grateful, for all you do
Papa, you're the best, a true hero in our eyes
We'll never forget, the love you've shown, and the sacrifices you've made
We're so grateful, for the dad you chose to be
Forever in our hearts, you'll always be.
