Better Than I Ever Was

Verse 1 This song is for you, my sunshine, My daughter, my heart, my pride. From a beautiful little girl in my arms To the gorgeous woman by my side. You are better than I ever was, More than I'll ever be, And through every season of my life, You've been my best friend to me. Chorus Oh, you are the light when my sky turns gray, The grace in my heart that will never fade. You're my sunshine, my reason, my all, The one who catches me when I fall. If the world had a daughter as amazing as you, I'd still be the luckiest — 'Cause everything I am, I owe to you. Verse 2 I can't wait to watch you prosper, To see every dream come true. I know you'll do great things, my girl, Because that's just what you do. And if you ask me what you deserve, I'd say the whole world and more — For the heart you carry and the love you give, And the soul that I adore. Chorus Oh, you are the light when my sky turns gray, The grace in my heart that will never fade. You're my sunshine, my reason, my all, The one who catches me when I fall. If the world had a daughter as amazing as you, I'd still be the luckiest — 'Cause everything I am, I owe to you. Verse 3 You were my rock, you were my strength, My reason to hold the line. When my road got hard and started to swerve, You stood beside me every time. Through every wrong decision I made, You had my back — you always stayed, And learned lessons that were never yours to learn, With a grace that asked for nothing in return. Verse 4 You helped to raise your brothers When you didn't have to, didn't need to try. You gave your childhood up for love, And never once asked why. So everything I am today, Every breath, every step, every day — I owe it all, my sunshine, to you, And every prayer I say is for you too. Final Chorus 'Cause you are the light when my sky turns gray, The grace in my heart that will never fade. You're my sunshine, my reason, my all, The one who catches me when I fall. God will bless you with an amazing life, For the amazing grace you give — And everything I am, I owe to you, My sunshine, my daughter, my best friend too.
