You held my hand and taught me to see
To love god and for me to be me
How a man should treat a lady
You taught me to pray
I'll always cherish the times we caught fish all day
You always said I can do anything boys can
To dream and believe that was all a part of gods plan
You loved me no matter what I've done
Even when I crashed your car
I look up to you for being the man you are
Every little girl should have a dad like mine
To love her and to hold her and to tell her
That everything's gonna be alright
She needs to know
That she will always be enough
To know and love herself and to have faith when things get rough
Every little girl
Should have a dad like mine
It didn't matter how hard things got
You and mama always worked it out
You prayed over me every night
And taught me the golden rule
I learned more from you than I did in school
Every little girl should have a dad like mine
To love her and to hold her and to tell her
That everything's gonna be alright
She needs to know
That she will always be enough
To know and love herself and to have faith when things get rough
Every little girl
Should have a dad like mine
Now you're the one who needs a hand
To help with all the things you can't
I promise to be by your side
For the rest of your life
Every little girl should have a dad like mine
To love her and to hold her and to tell her
That everything's gonna be alright
She needs to know
That she will always be enough
To know and love herself and to have faith when things get rough
Every little girl
Should have a dad like mine
Oh every little girl
Should have a dad like mine
