V1
How I longed for you to hold me
When the hard days came
Tell me everything would be all right
And to take away my pain
How I prayed you’d save me
From those who preyed on innocence
Tell me you’d protect me
And come to my defense
C
Oh Daddy, I needed you
To wipe away my tears
Oh Daddy, I needed shelter
From life’s most terrifying fears
Oh daddy, I needed
To share my life with you
V2
How I wished you could have seen me
As I wore my cap and gown
Tell me how happy you were
And that I made you proud
How I hoped you’d walk me
Down the aisle to my new life
Tell me I was beautiful
As I became a wife
C
Oh Daddy, I needed you
To wipe away my tears
Oh Daddy, I needed shelter
From life’s most terrifying fears
Oh daddy, I needed
To share my life with you
B
I know we can’t go back
To relive the past
But
C2
Oh Daddy, I still need you
To wipe away my tears
Oh Daddy, I still need shelter
From life’s most terrifying fears
Oh Daddy, I still need
To share my life with you
