Love is pancakes in the morning Love's a hug and kiss good night Love is storm clouds under covers Wearing rain boots any time Love is popcorn and a movie Love's a bike ride in the park Love is cheering til l'm breathless Watching dance and martial arts For my children For my children For my children are my life Love is always needing new shoes Love is growing much too fast Love is answering the school bell While the busy hours pass Love is hanging this week's art work Hands traced with water color life Love's a broken a-hand-me-down world New through their innocent eyes For my children For my children For my children are my life Love is living in the moment Love's a moment passing by Love is pancakes in the morning Love's a hug and kiss good night For my children For my children For my children are my life

Sing, sing with me now of a love deeper than words Sing, sing with me now of a father and his girl You are amazing and capture my heart Just because of who you are You are my strength and believe in me You make me feel like a star Hold, hold my now, your hugs open up my soul Hold, hold me now, tell me we'll never grow old I treasure you more than life itself You are my joy and wealth You show your love and I know you care It feels like I am dancing on air And for a life time you will be The one I love so tenderly Whatever changes whatever comes Daddies' and daughters' hearts will always beat as one Dream, dream with me now with each day a blessing comes true Dream, dream with me now everyday I love being with you You say some day you want a man like me to love like I love your mother Some day I will find my Prince Charming but you're my king there is no other And for a life time you will be the one I love so tenderly Whatever changes whatever comes Daddies and daughters' hearts will always beat as one

Life is but a breath Sill each day I'm blessed I can call you son Watch what you become You outgrew my lap And there's no going back But you'll never outgrow my heart Fathers and sons keep a lot inside Though my words are few I believe in you You're a treasure here In our family A sacred gift; a legacy Seek the One I serve Search the Holy Word Be the man of God you can be Fathers and sons keep a lot inside Though my words are few I believe in you Fathers and sons can say I love you, too Listen to me; hear me say, son I love you There's a girl for you I've been praying for And you'll know it's true When God blesses you When the time is right Take her as your wife I pray for you every night Fathers and sons keep a lot inside Though my words are few I believe in you Fathers and sons can say I love you, too Listen to me; hear me say, son I love you

It was time for bed; time to read and to pray Forget it, Daddy said, it won't help anyway Sis was all of six and here brother only four But she could read Bible stories like Momma did before Faith like a child; Oh handle with care One day you’ll look and it won’t be there Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials? Oh to have faith; faith like a child Oh to have faith; faith like a child Momma hid her treasures deep in their hearts Daddy was so broken, the house of cards fell apart Sis read Momma’s Bible and as they started to pray Daddy walked in the room ‘cause he just had to say Faith like a child; Oh handle with care One day you’ll look and it won’t be there Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials Oh to have faith; faith like a child Oh to have faith; faith like a child So Daddy wrote this song as a tiny reminder To love the Word of God and to be a whole lot kinder He hopes and he prays though it might take awhile That God will restore his faith like a child Faith like a child; Oh handle with care One day you’ll look and it won’t be there Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials? Oh to have faith; faith like a child Oh to have faith; faith like a child Oh to have faith; faith like a child

What's in a name, my daughter I see kindness in your tea cup of water I'll love you even when you're away I'll love you with a song Songs stay What's in a name What's in a name It's everything to me, it's an honor What's in a name, my second daughter Life's an adventure book when you're the author My love's the beach shore where you play My smile's the ocean waves Oh, what a day What's in a name What's in a name It's everything to me; it's an honor What's in a name What's in a name It's everything to me to be your father What's in a name, my son The dinner laughter and yard work left undone I'II love you even when you're away I'II love you with a song Songs stay What's in a name What's in a name It's everything to me; it's an honor What's in a name What's in a name It's everything to me Everything to me It's everything to me to be your father
