[00:00.06]Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you've planned
[00:06.16]Sometimes life happens in ways too hard to understand
[00:12.71]The news that I received today
[00:15.94]Has taken all my breath away
[00:18.63]But I am promising you right now
[00:22.07]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[00:25.41]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[00:28.75]Standing by your side or in your heart
[00:31.98]Maybe in a sunset or a prayer
[00:38.53]When you go on your first date
[00:41.09]And can't figure out what to say
[00:44.95]When you get behind the wheel and
[00:48.06]Have your first taste of freedom
[00:51.51]When you're smilin' for the camera
[00:54.28]At your high school formal dance and
[00:57.77]When you're walking across that stage
[01:00.69]With your whole future a blank page
[01:04.01]Please remember I'm going to be there
[01:10.80]'Cause I promise you right now
[01:13.73]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[01:17.59]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[01:20.97]Standing by your side or in your heart
[01:24.02]Face-to-face or as a memory
[01:27.43]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[01:30.95]That through the good times and the bad
[01:35.40]I will forever be your dad
[01:43.61]If you're tryin' to get ahead
[01:46.64]But the results are better left unsaid
[01:50.10]And you're on the edge, about to quit
[01:53.74]'Cause you just can't get the pieces to fit
[01:56.92]When your heart is broken by some fool
[02:00.17]Who dunno know what he's done to you
[02:03.31]Or you just need some advice on life
[02:06.73]'Cause nothing seems to be going right
[02:10.02]You have to know I'll always be there
[02:16.23]'Cause I promise you right now
[02:19.01]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[02:22.94]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[02:26.38]Standing by your side or in your heart
[02:29.40]Face-to-face or as a memory
[02:32.78]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[02:36.19]That through the good times and the bad
[02:40.85]I will forever be your dad
[02:47.64]I will forever be your dad
[02:55.49]'Cause I promise you right now
[02:58.14]That I'll be with you always, somehow
[03:02.21]Either hand-in-hand or worlds apart
[03:05.39]Standing by your side or in your heart
[03:08.85]Face-to-face or as a memory
[03:11.92]Keep your eyes open and you'll see
[03:15.22]That through the good times and the bad
[03:20.14]I will forever be your dad
[03:33.28]I will forever be your dad
