Dear Dad,
You tucked me in, turned out the light Kept me safe and sound at night Little girls depend on things like that
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Had to drive me everywhere. You were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone. Make a living, make a home. Must have been as hard as it could be
And when I couldn't sleep at night. Scared things wouldn't turn out right. You would hold my hand and sing to me
Caterpillar in the treeHow you wonder who you'll be. Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might. Don't you worry, hold on tightI promise you there will come a day. Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away. Flap your wings now you can't stay. Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away. We've been waiting for this day. All along and knowing just what to do. Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly awayButterfly fly away

Daddy, I'm reaching the end of my teenage years, and I'm finally having a childhood while continuing my life. I waitress, I go out to parties, and I've fallen in love and have a ring on my finger. Through my life, I've cried into my pillows, cut myself, screamed at you at the top of my lungs, told you I hate you, and did anything to not come home after school. We didn't get along, but that's finally changing. Daddy, I love you.
