It's like a magic spell
The way the sound of his voice makes all bad things well again
And the way he stands so tall
Like a hero in the crowd, but he doesn't even realize it at all
No no

All I hope for is to follow in his footsteps
Cause then I know that where I'm going will be good
I'll be so strong, but still so gentle
So full of so much potential
I'll be a friend to everyone if I become
Half the person daddy is

It's like a crazy dream
Whenever he's around, how invincible I seem
No matter what life throws my way
He's shown me I can face it all cause he's taught me to brave
Oh oh

All I hope for is to follow in his footsteps
Cause then I know that where I'm going will be good
I'll be so strong, but still so gentle
So full of so much potential
I'll be a friend to everyone if I become
Half the person daddy is

Someday I'll love another man with all my heart
But that won't replace the one I've loved ever since the start

All I hope for is to follow in his footsteps
Cause then I know that where I'm going will be good
I'll be so strong, but still so gentle
So full of so much potential
I'll be a friend to everyone if I become
Half the person daddy is
