[Intro] [Soft acoustic guitar, gentle piano notes, wind chimes in the background] (Hummed melody, soft: “Mmm…” harmonies) [Verse 1] I learned the word father is not one to fear, Father means the world to me— Safe and always near. It’s more than just a name, it’s more than what they see, My father wouldn’t choose the world… No, he would choose me. [Chorus] Oh, my darling girl, there’s nothing to fear, Through every joy, through every tear. No matter the distance, no matter the years, I’m here— I’m here. [Verse 2] He’d always be there, a hand to guide the way, A steady voice, so full of love, Through every night and day. He’d watch me spin in circles, listen to my dreams, Worry what the world could do, Yet stand behind me… (always behind me…) [Chorus] Oh, my darling girl, there’s nothing to fear, Through every joy, through every tear. No matter the distance, no matter the years, I’m here— I’m here. [Verse 3] He’d teach me how to stand my ground, When to fight or let things go. He'd never hide the hardest truths, Or dress them up with hollow hope. And every time the world felt cold, He'd hold me close and let me know— "My darling girl, don’t you fear… I’m right here." He’d watch me learn to drive a car, Worry if I’d go too far. Laugh at my silly jokes, And dance with me while we shared a Coke. He’d tell me ghostly tales at night, Under stars that shone so bright, Then pull me close and chase away my fear— "My darling girl, I’m right here." [Chorus] Oh, my darling girl, there’s nothing to fear, Through every joy, through every tear. No matter the distance, no matter the years, I’m here— I’m here. [Verse 4] Then one day, love would steal my heart, He’d take my hand, we'd walk that path… Down the aisle, step by step, And while we danced, he'd softly say— "My darling girl, never fear… I’m right here." And in the years when I hold my own, Children laughing, stories told, I’ll see him in the way I care, In all the love I choose to share. [Chorus] Oh, my darling girl, there’s nothing to fear, Through every joy, through every tear. No matter the distance, no matter the years, I’m here— I’m here. [Verse 5] And when time has flown, and years have passed, I’ll press a kiss upon his brow, Sit beside his quiet bed, With words I’ve always left unsaid. He'll smile at me through clouded eyes, And I'll lean in, suppress my sighs— "My dearest Dad, never fear… I love you so, and I am here."
