[English]

Every day you keep me safe

and warm and loved and fed

But today's your special day

It was my turn instead

So I got up at 5 a.m. I've

been working hard since then

Some things I didn't get quite right

next year I'll try again

Just for you I did my best

to cut my own hair

Some places came out pretty good and some

are kind of bare

I washed all your nicest clothes but the

washer wasn't free

So I used the dishwasher

Pretty smart of me

Remember no one's perfect

Every kid has faults

Remember it's the thought that counts

more than the results

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

I vacuumed really quietly

I didn't use the power

I cleaned your dirty iPad screen

I held it in the shower

I painted all the ceilings

It was easy with the mop

Now the carpet's painted too

with cool rainbow drops!

I answered all your work emails with

Just leave me alone

And we gave a prince from

Scamdinavia a loan

I watered all the house plants

with the garden hose

I forgot to turn it off

Sometimes that's how it goes

Remember no one's perfect

Every kid has faults

Remember it's the thought that counts

more than the results

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

Your car's shiny

inside and out

with lots of olive oil

Who knew that

oatmeal splatters up

so high and far on boil

I tried to make you

orange juice but I

spilled it on the floor

I tried to fry you bacon

we don't have a

stove no more

Since you can't really

cook this week

I called the pizza place

I emptied out the fridge

and freezer so

there's enough space

They should be here any time

Two dozen pizza pies

I paid with your credit card

I hope that you're surprised

Remember no one's perfect

Every kid has faults

Remember it's the thought that counts

more than the results

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even

though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

It was all to say on Father's Day

My love for you is strong

My love

for you is

Strong
