Daddy's Heartbeat - Country Ballad
Country
Well, the sun sets low on this empty road, And I'm sittin' thinkin' 'bout the love we sowed. You were my sunshine, my heart, my world, Now I'm just a shadow, missin' my little girl. Chorus Daddy loves you, oh, can't you see? Every tear I shed, It's 'cause you're not with me. I'm fightin' hard, I'm holdin' on tight, Just know, sweet girl, I'm still in this fight. Don't forget your daddy, he's missin' you so, In every whispered prayer, I'm lettin' you know. Verse 2 The nights get lonely, and the days feel long, Without your laughter, it's just a sad song. I'm sorry for the battles, sorry for the pain, But my love's a river, it'll never wane. Chorus Daddy loves you, oh, can't you see? Every tear I shed, it's 'cause you're not with me. I'm fightin' hard, I'm holdin' on tight, Just know, sweet girl, I'm still in this fight. Don't forget your daddy, he's missin' you so, In every whispered prayer, I'm lettin' you know. Verse 3 (Nightcrawler) I see it plain when I come through the door, Nightcrawler runs, but stops just before. He goes right to your room, then turns his head slow, Like he's askin' me a question that only you would know. He lays down by your shoes, won't touch his favorite toy, He's not the same dog, he's a lonely little boy. He misses the sweet hands that scratched behind his ears, Just like me, he's countin' up the tears. Bridge I'll climb every mountain, I'll cross every stream, To bring you back home, to fulfill our dream. You're my little angel, my heart's only song. With each passing day, I'm right where I belong. Chorus Daddy loves you, oh, can't you see? Every tear I shed, it's 'cause you're not with me. I'm fightin' hard, I'm holdin' on tight, Just know, sweet girl, I'm still in this fight. Don't forget your daddy, he's missin' you so, In every whispered prayer, I'm lettin' you know. Outro So hold on tight, my darling, don't lose your way, Daddy's out here, fightin' for you every day. You're my little girl, forever in my heart, No matter the distance, we'll never be apart.
