I remember When you used to take me on a bike ride every day on the Bayou (you remember that?) (We were inseparable) And I remember when you could do no wrong You’d come home from work And I jumped in your arms when I saw you (I was so excited) I was so happy (so happy to see you, so happy to see you) To see you
Because you loved me I overcome, yeah And I’m so proud of what you’ve become, yeah You’ve given me such security No matter what mistakes I make you’re there for me You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain You understood my biz and you protected me I treasure every irreplaceable memory and that’s why
I want My unborn son To be like my daddy I want my husband to be like my daddy There is no one else like my daddy And I thank you (thank you) For lovin’ me (daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy) (Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy) me (lovin’ me) (Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy) (lovin’ me) (Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy)
I still remember the expression on your face When you found out I’d been on a date and had a boyfriend, oh (My first boyfriend, you should’ve seen your face) I still remember I called you cryin’ ’cause of my tattoo Could have said, “Beyoncé, I told ya so” Instead you said you’d get one too, hey (You and my momma said y’all’d get one just like mine) Words can’t express my boundless gratitude for you I appreciate what you do, oh whoa You’ve given me such security No matter what mistakes I know you’re there for me You cure my disappointments and you’ll heal my pain You understood by biz and you protected me I treasure every extraordinary memory, that’s why
My unborn son To be like my daddy I want my husband to be like my daddy There is no one else like my daddy And I thank you (thank you) for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today No matter how much pain I’m in I would be okay, oh ‘Cause I got a man in my life that can’t be replaced Father’s love is unconditional, it won’t go away And I know I’m lucky (lucky) Know it ain’t easy (it ain’t easy) Men who take care of their responsibilities Love is overwhelming All that you did pay for me, ah Can’t stop my tears from falling I love you so much, daddy
Thank you (my unborn son to be like my daddy) You’ve done so much for me (want my husband to be like my daddy) I love you, daddy
I get so emotional, daddy (there is no one else like my daddy) Every time I think of you I get so emotional, daddy (and I thank you) Every time I think of you There is no one else like my daddy No one else will replace my daddy (there is no one else like my daddy) Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
