Standing In Your Shadow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men walk through this world so tall Their shadow stretches down the hall A steady hand, a heart of gold The kind of strength that never grows old He taught me how to stand up straight To give my best and never wait [Chorus] Happy birthday to the greatest man I know Dad, you're the reason that I grow Every lesson, every laugh, every tear I'm so grateful you are here You gave me roots and gave me wings to fly Happy birthday, here's to you tonight [Verse 2] You handed me a lightsaber And showed me worlds beyond the stars You taught these hands to build and create Turned every canvas into art Your humor fills the room with light Your love makes everything feel right [Chorus] Happy birthday to the greatest man I know Dad, you're the reason that I grow Every lesson, every laugh, every tear I'm so grateful you are here You gave me roots and gave me wings to fly Happy birthday, here's to you tonight [Bridge] Now Chance calls you papaw And I see it in his eyes The same wonder that you gave to me A love that never dies [Verse 3] Proud to be a daddy's girl Proud that everyone in town Knows me as your daughter 'Cause your name carries a crown You taught me to respect myself To lift up everyone around [Chorus] Happy birthday to the greatest man I know Dad, you're the reason that I grow Every lesson, every laugh, every tear I'm so grateful you are here You gave me roots and gave me wings to fly Happy birthday, here's to you tonight [Outro] So blow the candles out, Dad This song's for you, my hero, my best friend
