Pigtails Running In-Between

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strong In the way you rise each dawn Boots on early, coffee black Carrying the world upon your back The kind of love that don't need words Just shows up steady, sure and heard [Chorus] Here's to the hands that hold us tight The steady heart, the guiding light "Daddy, protector," small voices call You're the one who catches them all Through every season, every year Thank God we've got you here [Verse 2] Little footsteps down the hall "Can Daddy have his morning hug?" Harper's laughter, Rowan's eyes Look at you like you hung the sky You taught us all how to love Showed us grace from up above [Chorus] Here's to the hands that hold us tight The steady heart, the guiding light "Daddy, protector," small voices call You're the one who catches them all Through every season, every year Thank God we've got you here [Bridge] Golf clubs leaning by the door Fishing lines on the riverside shore But you'd trade every cast, every green For pigtails running, in-between [Verse 3] Alex, you're the foundation we stand on The melody beneath our song A husband's love, a father's pride Two little girls right by your side Hard worker, gentle, faithful, true There ain't a soul quite like you [Chorus] Here's to the hands that hold us tight The steady heart, the guiding light "Daddy, protector," small voices call You're the one who catches them all Through every season, every year Thank God we've got you here [Outro] So happy Father's Day, Alex, my love You're every blessing we've dreamed of Forever grateful, forever yours Today and all the days before
