When I was a boy about two years old
It was just my mom and me
Til she met a guy that changed our world
And two turned into three
He treated her right, made her laugh and smile
And showed us not all was bad
I didn't know it then, cause I was a child
But he was truly my dad
He was everything a dad should be
And he loved me even when I was bad
Words cannot explain what he meant to me
He was my dad, he was my dad
A few years later three turned to four
And then four turned into five
I could not have asked for anything more
Oh he was so wise
Through the years he taught my brothers and me
To be honest, kind and true
He taught us how to be all we could be
And he believed in us too
He was everything a dad should be
And he loved us with all he had
Words cannot explain what he meant to me
He was our dad, he was my dad
One Friday morning when I was just nineteen
He left for work with a grin
And watch him drive off, I could not believe
That I would never get to see him again
He was everything a dad should be
And he loved me even when I was bad
Words cannot explain what he meant to me
Oh he was my dad, he was my dad
Oh I miss my dad
