Til I Was a Daddy Too

Til I Was a Daddy Too - Tracy Lawrence

'Til you recall then

When I was six

I got lost out in the woods

And you worried yourself sick

What about the day

I got in my first fight

Mama she got mad

But you swelled up with pride

I never knew how deep a fathers love could run

Until I had a son

From watching him learn how to crawl

To skinned up knees from skateboard falls

The praying he'd get through football alive

From hearing his first words spoken

The first time his heart got broken

And knowing soon spread his wings and fly

I guess I didn't know

What a daddy goes thru

'Til I was a daddy too

Real love and that you can't understand

Until you hold it in your arms

And touch it with your hands

Pure joy kind that you can only find

When you live your life for them

And leave yourself behind

More and more I'm seeing life go by

Thru my daddy's eyes

From watching him learn how to crawl

To skinned up knees from skateboard falls

To praying he'd get through football alive

From hearing his first words spoken

The first time his heart got broken

And knowing soon spread his wings and fly

I guess I didn't know

What a daddy goes thru

'Til I was a daddy too

The fast pace of time goes racing

From first grade to graduation

And knowing soon

Spread his wings and fly

I guess I didn't know

What a daddy goes through

'Til I was a daddy too

I guess I didn't know

What a daddy goes through

'Til I was a daddy too
