You may not have taught me to ride a bike You may not have watched my whole life You may have missed several years but so did everyone else when they were there You are my peace You are my home You're the father I've never known You catch me when I fall You tell me it's alright You're what my dad could have been if he tried It's so easy for the conversation to glide It's not uncomfortable to feel your embrace I feel the love of a father when you look at my face I feel the care of dad who can't stand to see his daughter cry You are nothing but great in my eyes You're the father I've been needing The safe place I've been seeking I lay my head on your chest I feel nothing but comfort The look in your eyes tell me everything's alright You look proud yet I've done nothing You tell me that I'm something You call me a blessing when I feel I have burdened You can always tell when I'm hurting I knew from the moment you asked if I'm alright that you were what was missing from my life A part of the puzzle was completed when you hugged me for the first time When you told me you loved me it healed a piece of my soul Now I can't let go You hold on tight but I hold on tighter Because I can't lose the man that is truly my father
