Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I met her dad once, just once in my life,
But in that moment, I saw the world through his eyes.
The cancer had taken its toll, you could see it clear,
But when she walked in, it was like life reappeared.

The love he had for her overflowed the room,
A bond so strong, like a flower in bloom.
He told me stories that painted her past,
And I knew his legacy would forever last.

(Chorus)
I met her dad once, but I’ll never forget,
The lessons he taught in the time we had left.
He gave her the world, from pyramids to the sea,
And left me with shoes far too big for me.
One conversation, a lifetime of love,
A father’s heart watching from above.

(Verse 2)
He whisked her away to history’s door,
Roman ruins, Egyptian shores.
From Auschwitz’s pain to Normandy’s sand,
He gave her the world with a guiding hand.

A man from the Bronx who started with nothing,
Gave her a life that was truly something.
His stories all circled back to her light,
A daughter who made his wrongs turn right.

(Chorus)
I met her dad once, but I’ll never forget,
The lessons he taught in the time we had left.
He gave her the world, from pyramids to the sea,
And left me with shoes far too big for me.
One conversation, a lifetime of love,
A father’s heart watching from above.

(Bridge)
What I wouldn’t give for just one more day,
To hear his stories, to see his way.
To thank him for the woman who changed my life,
For the daughter who’s now my wife.

(Chorus)
I met her dad once, but I’ll never forget,
The lessons he taught in the time we had left.
He gave her the world, from pyramids to the sea,
And left me with shoes far too big for me.
One conversation, a lifetime of love,
A father’s heart watching from above.

(Outro)
I met her dad once, but his spirit remains,
In her every smile, through her joy and her pain.
A legacy of love, of strength, and truth,
What I wouldn’t give for one more moment with her dad.
