Fathers Of Daughters Lyrics

How can I quite find the right words 

For what it meant when she entered into my world?

It's like they gave me a daughter and traded my heart for 

A lifetime of nights I would worry about her

Now it's always fathers of daughters

In the hallways pacing and bothered

And they all say, I hope she remembers what she got from me

My mermaid made me wave a white flag

And for my cowgirl I stayed on the wagon

And I binge-watched my history through cringes and winces

To slay all my dragons and rescue my princess

Now it's always fathers of daughters

On the freeways, curse and apologize

And all say, I hope she does better than me

Fathers are up all night repairing where our hearts are breaking and more or less preparing

For all the mistakes daughters haven't even started making

The memories saved while watching them grow

We'll hold those tight to let them go

Now it's always fathers of daughters

Waiting up late, At least she could call us,

And we all say, She ought to know better than me, can't she see.

That it's always fathers of daughters Watch 'em walk away

Weathered eyes water when we all say, I hope she knows everything she gave to me

Always Fathers of daughters

Fathers of daughters

Fathers of daughters

Fathers of daughters
