My Daughter's Father Lyrics

by Gord Bamford

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e91729-gord_bamford~my_daughters_father_lyrics.html ]
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
