From the recording MERCY AND GRACE
The Best Dad In The World
Verse 1
Daddy, I’m not sure what happened
Or exactly when things changed
From the way things were between us
To the way things are today
Ever since I can remember
I always wanted to be like you
And I just wrote this song while thinking
Of some of the things we used to do
Chorus
Remember when we used to say
“I love you more than you love me”
Remember when you tucked me in
And did those piggies on my feet
Remember all those pictures
I used to draw with X’s and O’s
And hang ’em up in the kitchen
So you could see when you got home
In colored crayons, they all read
“I love you so much Dad
You’re the best dad in the world”
Verse 3
Well Daddy, now as I’m looking back
It’s so much clearer now to see
That you were just trying to get through life
Let alone raising me
And even though you may have made mistakes
Well, everybody else has too
But I’ve always known you love me
And you know I love you too
Chorus
Remember when we used to say
“I love you more than you love me”
Remember when you tucked me in
And did those piggies on my feet
Remember all those pictures
I used to draw with X’s and O’s
And hang ’em up in the kitchen
So you could see when you got home
In colored crayons, they all read
“I love you so much Dad
You’re the best dad in the world”
You’re still the best dad in the world
