A Father's Love
Delilah Lyrics

Three feet tall and full of questions
As a small child, I was curious about everything and always had a lot of questions.

You must have thought
I imagine that as a parent, you probably thought

I was the smartest man alive
That I was incredibly intelligent and knew everything.

I didn't always have the answers
However, the reality was that I didn't always know the answers.

To every little how and where and why
To all the little questions that children ask, like 'how does the world work?' and 'where do babies come from?' and 'why is the sky blue?'

There is no power on earth
The power of a father's love

like your fathers' love
Is incomparable to anything else in the world

So big and so strong as your father's love
It is a love that is both powerful and unwavering.

A promise that's sacred,
A promise that is holy and unbreakable,

a promise from heaven above
A promise made from a divine entity.

No matter where you go...
Regardless of where you may travel in life,

always know You can depend on
You can always rely on

your father's love
The love that your father has for you.

Especially when it's cold,
Particularly during difficult times,

especially when you're lonely
Especially when you feel alone and isolated.

When your little heart is lost
When you feel lost and unsure of yourself,

trying to find it's way
Trying to figure out what direction your life should take.

I know the world is always changing
Even though the world is always evolving and transforming,

But, remember son, that some things never change
It's important to remember that some things in life remain constant and unchanging, like a father's love for his child.

And even when my life on earth is through
Even when I die and leave this world,

There will still be a part of me in you
A part of me will always be with you, living on within you.

'Cause some things are forever
Certain things will be eternal and unchanging.

Nothing's ever gonna take my love from you
No matter what happens in life, my love for you will never fade or disappear.

Did I hug enough, did I care enough
Reflecting on whether I showed enough physical and emotional affection towards you as a child.

When you most needed me,
During the times when you were most vulnerable and needed my support,

Was I there enough
Did I show up and provide the help and love you needed?

Enough to make you feel the power of
Enough to give you a sense of the strength and steadfastness of

Your father's love
My love for you as your father.
