Daddy

I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the Bayou
(You remember that, we were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You´d come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)

Because you loved me, I overcome
And I´m so proud of what you´ve become
You´ve given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make, you´re there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that´s why

I want my unborn son to be like my Daddy
I want my husband to be like my Daddy
There is no one else like my Daddy
And I thank you for loving me

I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I´d been on a date and had a boyfriend
My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face
I still remember I came to you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said, „Beyonce, I told you so“
Instead you said, you´d get one too
(Even my Mama said, „Y´all, get one just like mine“)

Words can´t express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You´ve given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make, you´re there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that´s why

I want my unborn son to be like my Daddy
I want my husband to be like my Daddy
There is no one else like my Daddy
And I thank you for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I´m in, I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can´t be replaced
For this love is unconditional, it won´t go away
I know I´m lucky
Know it ain´t easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Can´t help my tears from falling
I love you so much, Daddy

(Thank you, you´ve done so much for me, I love you Daddy)

I get so emotional Daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional Daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my Daddy
No one else replace my Daddy
