Teresa James

I would ride on your shouldersAnd look out on the world

Pretending I was big and tall like you

When you were there to hold meI never was afraid

You made me feel there's nothing I can't do

If I'd spread my wings to flyWhen I was very small

I knew that you'd be standing byTo catch me if I fall

You're my heroChasing the monsters from my room

Going on trips around the moonThe one who's always been there faithfully

You're my heroAnd 'cause you're my Dad..

I'm twice as blessed and lucky to be me

As I kept on growingWe often disagreed

But you let me find myself in my own wayAnd it's funny, how just lately

I've come to recognizeHow wise you are becoming every day

There's so much you've given meI hope I've made you proud

You're everything a Dad should beAnd it's time to tell you now

You're my heroYou didn't have to say a word

Your love was the message that I heardInspiring me to be all I can be

You're my heroAnd 'cause you're my Dad...

I'm twice as blessed and lucky to be me
