I believe I posted this a long time ago but here it is again. This was a song I wrote for my daughter when she was just a little girl, when she wed I added the last verse and she chose it for the Father/bride waltz. Anyone who would like to use it for a wedding feel free but send me an invite...lol

Dad’s Growing Pains

By: Dad (Fee)

 

G                               C

I watched you in diapers

                    D                       G

…when you bounced on my knee

                              C

To a young girl in blue jeans

   D                       G

…so wild and so free

                                  C

From stuffed toys to errings

    D                       G

…you grew up to fast

                          C

But forever and ever

                             G

…our love it will last

 

CHORUS:

Little toy ponies, Barbies and books

Roller skates, swimming, sweet innocent looks

Sweeter than honey, more precious than gold

God made you my daughter than destroyed the mold

 

Watched you crawling, then toddling,

…till you walked on your own

From your first day at school

…till you first left my home

Each Christmas, each birthday

…each Halloween night

Were all memories so special

…I cling to them tight

 

Now you’re wearing a white dress

…your man’s wearing a smile

That aisle we just walked down

…sure seemed like a mile

I’ll give him your hand

…but I’ll hold onto your heart

A Dad’s loves forever

…we won’t ever part

Wish my father could of written like this to express his love for me. But he did love me and went through my life watching over me from grad til marriage, through the birth of my 4 girls, to some grandchildren. He was a quiet man, but a loving father. I miss him too but he is with me in spirit, he was just not outspoken and was so calm and always seen me as his sidekick.

I'd like to think I am a good father but if I am it is because the material I was given to work with (Wanda) was top notch. She made it easy for me to be a great Dad. I love you Wan.
