I remember 00:15

When you used to take me on a bike ride 00:18

Everyday on the Bayou 00:22

(You remember that? We were inseparable) 00:25

And I remember when you could do no wrong 00:30

You'd come home from work 00:34

And I jumped in your arms when I saw you 00:36

(I was so excited) 00:40

I was so happy (So happy to see you), to see you 00:42

Because you loved me I overcome, yeah 00:47

And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah 00:55

You've given me such security 01:02

No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me 01:06

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain 01:09

You understood my fears and you protected me 01:13

Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why 01:17

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy 01:22

I want my husband to be like my daddy 01:32

There is no one else like my daddy 01:39

And I thank you (Thank you), for loving me 01:47

Daddy, daddy, daddy 01:53

Daddy, daddy, daddy 01:56

Daddy, daddy, daddy 02:00

Daddy, daddy, daddy 02:04

I still remember the expression on your face 02:07

When you found out I'd been on a date 02:12

And had a boyfriend (My first boyfriend, you shoulda seen your face) 02:15

I still remember I called you crying 'cause of my tattoo 02:22

Could have said, "Beyonce I told you so" 02:27

Instead you said you'd get one too 02:30

(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine) 02:33

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you 02:40

I appreciate what you do 02:47

You've given me such security 02:55

No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me 02:59

Cure my disappointments and you heal my pain 03:03

You understand my fears and you protected me 03:06

Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why 03:10

My unborn son to be like my daddy 03:16

I want my husband to be like my daddy 03:24

There is no one else like my daddy 03:31

And I thank you for loving me 03:40

Even if my man broke my heart today 03:45

No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay 03:48

'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced 03:52

For this love is unconditional, it won't go away 03:56

And I know I'm lucky (Lucky) 04:00

Know it ain't easy (It ain't easy) 04:02

Men who take care of their responsibilities 04:04

Can't stop my tears from falling 04:11

Lyrics:

[English]

I remember

When you used to take me on a bike ride

Everyday on the Bayou

(You remember that? We were inseparable)

And I remember when you could do no wrong

You'd come home from work

And I jumped in your arms when I saw you

(I was so excited)

I was so happy (So happy to see you), to see you

Because you loved me I overcome, yeah

And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you (Thank you), for loving me

Daddy, daddy, daddy

I still remember the expression on your face

When you found out I'd been on a date

And had a boyfriend (My first boyfriend, you shoulda seen your face)

I still remember I called you crying 'cause of my tattoo

Could have said, "Beyonce I told you so"

Instead you said you'd get one too

(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you

I appreciate what you do

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me

Cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understand my fears and you protected me

Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why

My unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today

No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay

'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced

For this love is unconditional, it won't go away

And I know I'm lucky (Lucky)

Know it ain't easy (It ain't easy)

Men who take care of their responsibilities

Love is overwhelming

Lord why did you pick me

Can't stop my tears from falling

I love you so much daddy

Thank you

You've done so much for me

I love you daddy

I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you

There is no one else like my daddy

No one else can replace my daddy

Daddy, daddy, daddy
