[00:00.07]Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you've planned
[00:05.83]Sometimes life happens in ways too hard to understand
[00:12.30]The news that I received today
[00:15.98]Has taken all my breath away
[00:18.65]But I am promising you right now
[00:22.02]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[00:25.31]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[00:28.65]Standing by your side or in your heart
[00:32.02]Maybe in a sunset or a prayer
[00:38.37]When you go on your first date
[00:41.02]And can't figure out what to say
[00:44.97]When you get behind the wheel and
[00:47.89]Have your first taste of freedom
[00:51.69]When you're smilin' for the camera
[00:54.37]At your high school formal dance and
[00:57.60]When you're walking across that stage
[01:00.74]With your whole future a blank page
[01:04.11]Please remember I'm going to be there
[01:10.61]'Cause I promise you right now
[01:13.68]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[01:17.61]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[01:20.96]Standing by your side or in your heart
[01:24.26]Face-to-face or as a memory
[01:27.56]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[01:30.75]That through the good times and the bad
[01:35.59]I will forever be your dad
[01:43.22]If you're tryin' to get ahead
[01:46.82]But the results are better left unsaid
[01:50.13]And you're on the edge, about to quit
[01:53.69]'Cause you just can't get the pieces to fit
[01:56.94]When your heart is broken by some fool
[02:00.21]Who dunno know what he's done to you
[02:03.43]Or you just need some advice on life
[02:06.74]'Cause nothing seems to be going right
[02:10.28]You have to know I'll always be there
[02:16.17]'Cause I promise you right now
[02:19.06]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[02:22.90]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[02:26.23]Standing by your side or in your heart
[02:29.68]Face-to-face or as a memory
[02:32.97]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[02:36.16]That through the good times and the bad
[02:40.94]I will forever be your dad
[02:47.35]I will forever be your dad
[02:55.35]'Cause I promise you right now
[02:58.21]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[03:02.07]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[03:05.58]Standing by your side or in your heart
[03:08.81]Face-to-face or as a memory
[03:11.89]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[03:15.36]That through the good times and the bad
[03:20.12]I will forever be your dad
[03:33.03]I will forever be your dad
