Verse 1:
Last night I went runnin’ home
Cryin’ from the pain
Hurtful words still stinging
Echoing again
And when I reached my Daddy
Suddenly I knew
His cheeks were streaked with tears because
He’d heard them too!

Chorus:
I know my “Daddy” loves me
I know my “Daddy” cares
I know He shares my joy and pain
He listens to my prayers
He waits for me with open arms
And knows just where to start
He touches me so tenderly
And heals my broken heart

Verse 2:
Some dads busy with their work
No time to stop and play
Some dads filled with anger
Forcing kids away
Some dads move on to another life
Letting others raise their own
Leaving them a last name
And a father still unknown

Chorus:
But, I know my “Daddy” loves me
I know my “Daddy” cares
I know He shares my joy and pain
He listens to my prayers
He waits for me with open arms
And knows just where to start
He touches me so tenderly
And heals my broken heart

Repeat CHORUS
