My Dad, My Hero

    Music by Vicky Chi Yin Hui

Lyrics by Joanna Fuchs

   (Father Daughter Dance Song, A poem by Joanna Fuchs)

(The Bride's Version)
 
My daddy was my hero

For my very youngest years;

Daddy kept me safe and happy,

And he chased away my fears.

I watched in awe and wonder

At each manly thing he did;

Oh, I looked up to my daddy,

When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,

As the years passed, one by one.

He taught important lessons,

And he took some time for fun.

He was my firm foundation;

On my dad I did depend;

He was always there for me,

My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,

Now that I am fully grown.

I love him and respect him,

The best man I’ve ever known.

I knew when I would marry

That my husband had to be

A great man just like my father,

Dad, my hero you’ll always be.

My hero you’ll always be.

*To dear Grace and Johnson, and also your parents.  Congratulations!

(The Groom's Version)

My daddy was my hero

For my very youngest years;

Daddy kept me safe and happy,

And he chased away my fears.

I watched in awe and wonder

At each manly thing he did;

Oh, I looked up to my daddy,

When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,

As the years passed, one by one.

He taught important lessons,

And he took some time for fun.

He was my firm foundation;

On my dad I did depend;

He was always there for me,

My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,

Now that I am fully grown.

I love him and respect him,

The best man I’ve ever known.

When I have my own children,

All I want is just to be

A great man just like my father,

Dad, my hero you’ll always be.

My hero you’ll always be.

*I revised a bit of the original poem, so that there can be a groom's version.  Hope the poet won't mind about that.
