Most nights I try to pack

Got you climbing on my back

Saying daddy when am I gonna see you again

You know I gotta go out on the road

Get on with the show

So most nights your mama’s gonna tuck you in

When you’re missing me look at the stars up there

I’ll be wishing on the same one and sing this father’s prayer

I hope you see the seven wonders

I hope you sail the seven seas

I hope you let the whole world in your heart

But you still got room for me

I hope you find a guy that treats you right

On your wedding night I’ll raise a toast

I hope he understands I’ll always be the man that loves you the most

Summer’s gone and school is back

It’s my turn to help you pack

I’ll keep your room exactly how it is

I know you gotta go out on your own

I’m so proud of you, you know

You’re the best thing that this old man ever did

When I’m missing you and all the stars come out

I sing this prayer when the quiet gets too loud

I hope you see the seven wonders

I hope you sail the seven seas

I hope you let the whole world in your heart

But you still got room for me

I hope you find a guy that treats you right

On your wedding night I’ll raise a toast

I hope he understands I’ll always be the man who loves you the most

Trust your gut

Hold your own

But allow for doubting too

Forgive the wrongs and love yourself

That’s the hardest thing to do

If your back’s against the wall, baby

Come on home

I’m always here for you

And when you’ve seen the seven wonders

When you’ve sailed the seven seas

When you change the whole world with your heart

I hope you think of me

When I go to sing my final song

I hope you celebrate and raise a toast

If you cry they’ll understand

For the man who loved you the most
