Like My Daddy Did
Love's Redemption: A Promise Beyond Shadows
Lyrics
I found a little girl and I fell in love
Found a girl and fell in love
She shines brighter than the stars above
She's exceptionally radiant
I bought her a pretty diamond ring
Purchased a diamond ring
Asked her if she would marry me
Proposed marriage
She said, will you treat me like my daddy did
Asks if he'll treat her like her absent father did
Left me and momma, I was just a kid
Her father left her and her mother when she was young
He took off runnin', I never saw his face again
The father disappeared, never seen again
So, when it comes to love, I ain't the trustin' kind
Lacks trust in love due to childhood experiences
There's a whole lotta scars on this heart of mine
Carries emotional scars from past relationships
I'm crazy about ya, I'm not sure I can
Expresses love but uncertain about fully trusting
I took that pretty girl by the hand
Assures understanding and support for her past
I looked her in her eyes and said I understand
Acknowledges her experiences won't change his feelings
There's nothing you could tell me that would change a thing
Accepts her past, still wants to marry her
I still want you to wear my ring
Still wants her to wear the engagement ring
I'll treat you just like my daddy did
Expresses commitment to treat her well
He took me fishin' when I was a kid
Highlights positive experiences with his father
When I played ball, he never missed a game
His father actively participated in his childhood
When it comes to love, I'm the trusting kind
Trusts in love due to positive upbringing
There ain't no scars on this heart of mine
Emotionally unscathed from past relationships
I'm crazy about ya, I'm pretty sure I can
Confident in loving her fully
Tomorrow morning is our wedding day
Upcoming wedding day
And all your fears are gonna fade away
Assures her fears will fade away
Together we're gonna build a bridge
Plans to build a strong relationship together
No, I won't treat ya like your daddy did
Assures he won't treat her like her father
We'll have the kind of love that's the trusting kind
Desires a trusting and loving relationship
I'll give you ever piece of this heart of mine
Willing to give all of his love
We were meant to be, I'm pretty sure we can
Believes they are meant to be together
I found a little girl and I fell in love
Repeats the beginning of their love story
She shines brighter than the stars above
Reaffirms her exceptional qualities
