When I was young, you carried me
Upon a pony called your knee
To places that were only seen
By you and me in shared daydreams
Soon too big for pony rides
I chased my daydreams by your side
And learned that it was not your knee
Your strength of heart still carried me
Oh Daddy, thanks for all you've done
I'm grateful that you were the one
God gave me to to be your own
In loving me the love of God you've shown
Through the years from then 'til now
I've made and kept this solemn vow
I never will forget those days
But sometimes I forgot to say
Oh Daddy, thanks for all you've done
I'm grateful that you were the one
God gave me to to be your own
In loving me the love of God you've shown
And you gave me more than I could see
You gave yourself unselfishly
And you gave love, a love just like
Our Father above
So Daddy, thanks for all you've done
I'm grateful that you were the one
God gave me to to be your own
In loving me the love of God you've shown
In loving me the love of God you've shown
