August 7, 1998 was a special day when my life changed and I was brought into fatherhood

That was the day when my daughter was born and she makes me fell like I thought I never could

When I first held her in my arms, I finally felt something that had been missing my whole life

I never knew what it truly was and I was thinking that it was my longing for a wife

It was her and only her who could make me complete and whole inside

Filling that void that for so many years people have already tried and tried

That feeling that I had when I could first hold her in my hands

Finally showed me the true meaning of life for this man

And when I first looked into her dark beautiful eyes I finally saw

All I had to live for, all I had to die for, and to whom I'd give my all

Just the innocence of her smile and the joy in her laughter

Makes this dad always want to be with his daughter

All day I imagine the times when we'll be able to take little walks to the park

And how I can show you all the stars that light up the sky in the dark

Then I can read you bed time stories and tuck you in when its getting time for bed

And then in the morning , you would watch TV as I cooked you bacon and eggs

I dream of the times when I'd be taking you to your first days of school

Seeing the excitement and fear on your face as you were pondering what to do

Then I could help you with all your questions about school and the world

I don't know if I could, but I'd do my best to teach you how to be a girl

And no matter what may happen to us in our own separate lives

I just want you to know that I'll always be by your side

I'll be there to support you through all the decisions you may make

And I'll be there to comfort you when you make your mistakes

And then that day that would finally have to come around

When you come to me and tell me the perfect man you've found

And that you and him were so deeply and truly in love

And spending the rest of your lives together is all your thinking of

And you would tell me of how you were sure with him you'd want to spend the rest of your life

And how he saved up enough money to buy you this ring so he could you to be his wife

It would be a happy day for us yet also very sad

Because I'd be scared of losing what we once had

But then if your in love then I would not stand in your way

And I'd be proud to walk with you on your special wedding day

All these dreams I hope will come true for you and for me

And I'll try my best to be the best dad to you for all of eternity

And no matter what I am your one true father

And just know that you're in my heart, forever and ever
