Step up

You walked into my life when I was two years old I see our pictures in the photographs, a memory told I remember you working hard, always working late Then you'd wake us with a surprise seesaw that you'd made You always make sure that we had what we needed Take us out of school for fun reasons The holidays, bad jokes and the silly times Make up the story of my young life It must have been hard, you sometimes got mad You stepped up but you were always my dad You were always there to help me on my way I hope you know how special you are to me (hmm hmmm) How special you are to me (hmm hmmmmm) I know I wasn't always the easiest child My brothers and I, we could get a little bit wild But you made us laugh, made a house a home Filled a void that I didn't even know It's the little things that you did and you do These are the things that mean so much, they do It must have been hard, you sometimes got mad You stepped up but you were always my dad You were always there to help me on my way I hope you know how special you are to me (hmm hmmm) How special you are to me (hmm hmmm) I wanna thank you for taking a chance For the fun times and the serious chats I wanna praise you for all that we had For helping me through and for being my guide (ooh, ooh, ohhhh, ooh, ooh, ohhhh) It must have been hard, (hard, I know) you sometimes got mad You stepped up but you were always my dad You were always there to help me on my way I hope you know how special you are to me (hmm hmmm) How special you are to me (hmm hmmm) It must have been hard, you sometimes got mad You stepped up but you were always my dad You were always there to help me on my way I hope you know how special you are to me (hmm hmmm) How special you are to me (hmm hmmm)
