Always On The First Ring

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a man who never missed a call Always picked up on the first ring Through the laughter and the tears that fall He made the hardest days worth everything Life of every party, heart of gold Shirt right off his back, no questions asked [Chorus] Dad, you gave me your green eyes And a love that never says goodbye You taught me strength when skies turned grey And I'd choose you every single day My first call, my safest place Dad, I carry your strength and your grace [Verse 2] You curse like some old truck driver But your humor lights the darkest room Me and Nick, we got your fighter spirit We got those eyes that shine like you Michigan on Saturdays together Side by side through every single game [Chorus] Dad, you gave me your green eyes And a love that never says goodbye You taught me strength when skies turned grey And I'd choose you every single day My first call, my safest place Dad, I carry your strength and your grace [Bridge] When the storm took mama from our arms I held you up, you held me through You say I saved you from the dark But daddy, you saved me too [Verse 3] I'm your Boo, your baby girl Your assistant running every plan Thirty years inside this world And you're still my favorite man Now I'm dancing in a white dress here But I'll always answer your first ring [Chorus] Dad, you gave me your green eyes And a love that never says goodbye You taught me strength when skies turned grey And I'd choose you every single day My first call, my safest place Dad, I carry your strength and your grace [Outro] So save this dance for me tonight Daddy, you're my whole life's light
