Every day I've lived my life
You've been there by my side
Through hugs and hopes and dreams and fears
When I've laughed and when I've cried
I have such happy memories
Of beaches, rock pools and sun
Of too much ice-cream, camping in the rain
Of long summers full of fun
It hasn't always been a breeze
There've been downs along the way
But you've always smiled, no matter what
And kept those clouds away
So thank you for the work you've done
With tired nights and long drives alone
It's meant we've always had a house
A place we can call home
35 years you've been a dad
You're a pro after all this time
Though I'm sure you've had a bit of help
Either from Mum or from the wine!
Of all the dads in all the world
I'm so proud that I can say
I've the best dad there's ever been
I love you, Happy Father's Day!
