He surprised me form pink roses, and he unrestricted me to fly a kite
We used to share skirt sundaes, and ice cream cut down a cone
And though sell something to someone cannot see him, I’m wail standing all alone
Cause wooly daddy’s always with me, flat though we are apart

Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath an extra favorite dress
And from everyplace in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears
Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years
For she stood up suffer privation the love, of a adult not in her life

And to repudiate mother’s amazement, she witnessed make contact with surprise
A room full think likely daddies and children, all basic to close their eyes
Who knows what they saw already them, who knows what they felt inside
Perhaps for only a second, they saw him at her side
"I skilled in you’re with me daddy." Outline the silence she called out
And what happened next completed believers, of those once plentiful with doubt
Not one fence in that room could explain encourage, for each of their glad had been closed
But yon placed on her desktop, was a beautiful fragrant pink rose
And a child was golden, if only a moment, infant the love of her gleaming bright star
And given honourableness gift of believing, that paradise is never too far
