From the recording FAWM 2024
This one's an amalgamation of our two kids and memories I have of a few chapters in their lives that we've experienced and one on the horizon. When I was young, I couldn't see myself wanting to be a father, these days I wouldn't have it any other way.
Lyrics
From wild and free to plans for three
My world changed overnight
It was overtired and baby bottles
My heart swelled with pride
At that blue eyed little one in my arms
I'd check for monsters under your bed
Read a story and tuck you in
Turn the lights down low, give you one more hug before we said goodnight
Yeah, that's what being a dad's about
I swore you're ok that first day of pre-k
Soon enough you were on your way
Hell on wheels, imagination fueled
I hope that never changes, though it meant
Checking for monsters under your bed
Read a story and tuck you in
Turn the lights down low, give you one more hug before we said goodnight
Yeah, that's what being a dad's about
From skinned knees in the playground
To broken hearts and ex-boyfriends
I'm glad your mom's around
Now we're walking down the aisle
Starting the next chapter of your life
And my mind goes back to
Checking for monsters under your bed
Read a story and tuck you in
Turn the lights down low, give you one more hug before we said goodnight
I'd check for monsters under your bed
Read a story and tuck you in
Turn the lights down low, give you one more hug before we said goodnight
Yeah, that's what being a dad's about
That's what being a dad's about
