The lyrics of Leroy Gibbons's song "Cupid" describe the singer's appreciation for their father and the sacrifices he has made for them throughout their life. The song begins by acknowledging that the singer has always taken from their father without saying thank you, but it is only as they have grown older that they have come to understand how difficult his life has been. Despite his struggles, their father always puts on a strong front when saying goodbye, even though his eyes are filled with tears. The singer misses the warmth of their father's hand and wishes they could go back to the way things used to be. However, the father is no longer by their side and is being carried away by the wind for his own safety.
The song then continues with the singer pleading with time to slow down so that their father does not have to get any older. They offer everything they have in exchange for more time with him. The singer recognizes their father as a strong man who has always given them his best, and wonders if they are ever able to do something for him in return. They offer their small gestures of care and gratitude since everything he has done for them is immeasurable. The song ends with the singer thanking their father for being the support system of their family and for everything he has done for them.
