When I was growing up
I needed you to be my flashlight
When I had a bad dream
I needed you to scare away the bad guy
You were my ladder
When I needed something way up high
You were my pillow
When we would cuddle at night
You are my dad
All through my life
And I want to let you know
I will always need a flashlight
And I will always need someone
To scare away the bad guy
I will always need something
Way up high
And I will always need a pillow
When I cuddle at night
I will always need you dad
To guide me through my life
And when I need
A hug and a kiss goodnight
