He dropped her off form one of their magical weekends together when she said, "daddy, Pinky swear you won't tell mommy I love you". Yeah. She said that in 2008. He never saw her again. The Dad I never knew. [Verse 1] I was told a story, cold and grim, A father lost, a shadow dim. Mama’s words were sharp and loud, Painted him a stormy cloud. But then I saw the donkeys’ eyes, The gentle man behind disguise. A healer’s hands, an artist’s soul, A heart that made the broken whole. --- [Pre-Chorus] How could the truth be so unknown? A love that I was never shown. The man I feared was kind and strong, In his arms, I’d belong. --- [Chorus] Oh, the dad I never knew, Was magic wrapped in morning dew. He loved me wild, he loved me free, A song of joy, a mystery. Regret cuts deep, but so does grace, I see his light in every face. A story lost, now found anew, The dad I never knew. --- [Verse 2] Mama’s storms, they shaped my view, But now I’m breaking through the blue. Borderline tales that dimmed the light, Can’t hold back what feels so right. In every donkey’s bray and neigh, I hear the love he gave away. His art, his laugh, the ranch’s breath, He lives beyond the veil of death. --- [Pre-Chorus] How could the truth be so unknown? A love that I was never shown. The man I feared was kind and strong, In his arms, I’d belong. --- [Chorus] Oh, the dad I never knew, Was magic wrapped in morning dew. He loved me wild, he loved me free, A song of joy, a mystery. Regret cuts deep, but so does grace, I see his light in every face. A story lost, now found anew, The dad I never knew. --- [Bridge] I hold the pieces, broken and true, A fractured past, a love overdue. His kindness shines, a healing art, I keep his magic in my heart. --- [Outro] So here’s to you, my father, my friend, A journey started, not the end. Through donkeys’ brays and skies so blue, I’m finding the dad I never knew.
