You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
Hello, my wonderful father,
my heart is full and I have a lot to say,
and I don?t think I?ll get a better opportunity,
after all, today, well, it is Father's Day.
We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.
I give you my love forever true,
my truest ever words, spoken on our wedding day,
and "Idioma" or "Pansy", I love you,
but I do have a couple of other things to say:
Do you know how I truly idolize you?
I think of you and my chest swells with pride,
because I know I couldn?t have picked a finer father,
I know I couldn?t ? even if I?d tried.
You're great with the kids and you care for us all,
and I know as children go, I am like the third,
but when you said "I do" on our wedding day,
well, they were the sweetest words I've ever heard.
You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"
Because the best decision I ever made was to marry you,
I was no April fool, I was your bride,
and I know I couldn't have chosen a finer partner,
I know I couldn't - even if I'd tried.
I guess it was because I loved my Daddy so much,
and it's hard to describe his true and honest worth,
because he was such a fine father, nay, a great father,
and I'm so sorry that he had to leave this planet Earth.
He also always knew just the right thing to say,
and despite his brevity, I knew he'd always understand,
I couldn't have wished for a fairer or a better father,
and I think he followed the path that God had planned.
I have many wonderful pictures of you as a young woman,
and from them, I know that you were a very beautiful bride
but I just know I couldn't have chosen a finer grandmother,
I know I couldn't - even if I'd tried.
I'd also like to thank you for our beautiful children,
truly, they are our dreams personified,
and I know they couldn't have chosen a finer father,
I know they couldn't, even if they'd tried.
And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
And I know your father wasn?t quite like that,
in truth, he never killed the dragon that lived inside,
but from selling newspapers, to the Vietnam war,
I know that you have been a great source of pride.
I know you like a drink and a good chat,
but you?ve always given us an ear that?ll understand,
and I know you?ve been a very protective and proud father,
but to be honest, you?re the best Dad in all this land.
