Willie B. Williams - The Dad That Was There Lyrics

He held her hand - and the baby came
He was so proud - he told the crowd
This is my child - and he'll wear my name
I'm daddy now - and dad I'll stay
He held him tight all through the night
Milk form the store - he walked the floor

This is the dad that was there
This is for the dad who really cared
The dad whose child stayed on his mind
The dad who left so much behind
This is the dad that was strong
This is for the dad who lingered on
He made up his mind the hard winds may blow
But your daddy you will know

He went to school - dad combed his hair
First day the bus came - dad was right there
He threw the ball - dad taught him well
He made the team - and daddy yelled
He taught him how to be a man
To do what's right - and take a stand

This is the dad that was there
This is for the dad who really cared
The dad whose child stayed on his mind
The dad who left so much behind
This is the dad that was strong
This is for the dad who lingered on
He made up his mind, the hard winds may blow
But your daddy you will know

This is the dad that was there
This is for the dad who really cared
The dad whose child stayed on his mind
The dad who left so much behind
This is for the dad that was strong
This is for the dad who lingered on
He made up his mind the hard winds may blow
But your daddy you will know

Yeah, this is for the dad that was there
This is for the dad who really cared
He made up his mind the hard winds may blow
But your daddy you will know
