Daddy Told Me

My daddy told me to be myself So that's just what I do My daddy taught me to keep good health So then I grew Now I'm living out on my own Learned a lesson or two What daddy said way back then Has been nothing but true So daddy please be with me Even though we are so far apart Oh daddy please breathe freely Just know I'm following your heart Just know I'm following your heart My daddy told me to have some style So I bought new shoes My daddy told me go run a mile I said not in those shoes My daddy taught me to do good work To see it all through I really love when my daddy smiles It makes me too So daddy please be with me Even when we are so far apart Oh daddy please breathe freely Just know I'm following your heart Just know I'm following your heart My daddy told me to write a song Simple and true So here I am after far too long Writing this song for you My daddy told me To trust in God and have no fear My daddy said when you trust in God He is always near So daddy please be with me Even when we are so far apart Oh daddy please breathe freely Just know I'm following your heart Oh daddy please be with me The distance is tearing me apart Oh daddy please breathe freely And just know that I'm following your heart Just know I'm following your heart
