Lyrics

Where I Want to Be
I can hear her giggling
in the next room with her momma
eating princess cake and ice cream without a spoon

today’s her birthday, she is five years old
in the kitchen with her momma
shinning like a jewel

And I’m your daddy and to me
you’re a mystery
wondering what life will bring you
knowing what will be will be

and I’m your Daddy and I can see
that I’m right here where I want be

Be always grateful
of every blessing from God’s hand
and life ain’t always fair,
it’s better now that you understand

And don’t ever give it up,
don’t let your heart turn to stone
when life knocks you down
get up and take a look around

and take your time sometimes,
if you seek, you’ll see what’s right
And darling always know,
you’re bathed in God’s precious light

and I’m your Daddy and I can see
That I’m right here where I want be

And if you have two, well you’ve got one to give
And if you’re angry, you have the power to forgive
if you’re sorry, find the words to say your wrong
it’s like sunlight and blue sky after the darkest storm.

Now my daddy
well he died when I was two
yeah my daddy,
he was someone I never knew

and most everything I’ve learned
it’s had to be the hard way
darling I’m hoping that
you can find a better way

Now your daddy’s 50
that’s more time than you can comprehend
but don’t worry baby,
there’s lots of fun between now and then

so go take some chances
‘cause failing ain’t so bad
but hold love preciously
don’t let it slip through your hands

yes I’m your Daddy and I can see
that I’m right here where I want be

And remember His promise, trust in Him always
and raise up who you can, those will be your finest days
and if you turn for me and find I’m not around
just peek over your shoulder, ‘cause that’s where I’ll be found

I can hear her giggling
in the kitchen with her momma
and there’s not one good thing
tonight, that isn’t mine

but the past is the past
and good luck it doesn’t last
but I’m your Daddy
and you can hold on to that fast

yes I’m your Daddy and I can see
that I’m right here where I want to be
