Gord Bamford - My Daughter's Father Lyrics

(Byron Hill/Arlos Smith)

I GUESS IT’S HUMAN NATURE
TUGGIN’ AT MY SLEEVE
THAT GETS ME THINKING TOO MUCH
‘BOUT WHAT I’M ‘SPOSED TO BE
I KEEP AIMING HIGHER
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
FORGETTING WHAT I NEED TO BE
IS JUST TO BE MYSELF

CHORUS:
IT’S NOT LIKE EVERYBODY’S WAITING
TO SEE IF I’LL GO FAR
IT’S NOT LIKE EVERYBODY’S WATCHING
THOUGH SOMETIMES I THINK THEY ARE
I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
I DON’T HAVE TO WALK ON WATER
ALL I HAVE TO BE
IS MY DAUGHTER’S FATHER

SHE’S JUST LIKE HER MAMA
WHEN IT COMES TO ME
COULDN’T FOOL HER IF I TRIED TO
TO HER I’LL ALWAYS BE
NOTHING MORE THAN DADDY
AND WHEN SHE SAYS THAT WORD
IT A WONDERFUL REMINDER
OF WHY I’M ON THIS EARTH

REPEAT CHORUS

A MAN IS OFTEN MEASURED
BY WHAT HE DOES IN LIFE
IT MADE MINE WORTH LIVING
WHEN I REALIZED

REPEAT CHORUS

YEAH ALL I HAVE TO BE
IS MY DAUGHTER’S FATHER
