No One Can Replace Your Daddy
No one can replace the man
That helped to give you life
The man you have a special bond with
Even when you're somebody’s wife
The man that holds you tight
Who fought the monsters for you at night
The man that gives you wings to fly
Who wipes the tears for you when you cry
The man that always there
Who will forever be
The man that keeps you safe
With a heart that gives unselfishly
The man that stands like a mountain
Who listens to what you say
The man that taught you right from wrong
Who taught you not to stray
The man you can always depend on
The man that you call daddy
The man that you can always trust
Who loves you unconditionally
