My Daughter's Father Lyrics

Gord Bamford My Daughter's Father

i guess it's human nature
tuggin' at my sleeve
that gets me thinking too much
'bout what i'm 'sposed to be
i keep aiming higher
like everybody else
forgetting what i need to be
is just to be myself

chorus:
it's not like everybody's waiting
to see if i'll go far
it's not like everybody's watching
though sometimes i think they are
i don't have to change the world
i don't have to walk on water
all i have to be
is my daughter's father

she's just like her mama
when it comes to me
couldn't fool her if i tried to
to her i'll always be
nothing more than daddy
and when she says that word
it a wonderful reminder
of why i'm on this earth

repeat chorus

a man is often measured
by what he does in life
it made mine worth living
when i realized

repeat chorus

yeah all i have to be
is my daughter's father
