Daddy Knows
Once upon a time your Dad was young
Seems to me like it was yesterday
So many loves songs waiting to be sung
And great romance seemed so far away
But life is like a diamond in the earth
Only time and pressure make it so
But in the end you see what it was worth
And how each tiny seed you plant can grow
Daddy knows, my son, Daddy knows
Daddy sees every ache in your soul
I wish I could steal every pain you feel
But I must let them heal on their own
Daddy sees, my son, Daddy sees
Sometimes life puts us to our knees
And I hope you see we can make it be
But there’s no guarantee and Daddy knows
You are such a wonderful young man
I’m so proud of you that I could bust
You have got the whole world in your hands
I wish there was a future I could trust
I know at times I’m slow to show my love
So slow sometimes you hardly know it’s there
Like dust you cannot catch a basket of
But over time you’ll find it everywhere
Daddy knows, my son, Daddy knows
Daddy sees every sting as it grows
I would draw you close and chase every ghost
But to help the most I must be still
Daddy cries, my son, Daddy cries
Sometimes all alone in disguise
May you grow to be what I know I see
But there’s no guarantee and Daddy knows
