'Til I Was A Daddy Too
Recorded by Tracy Lawrence
Written by Larry Boone, Paul Nelson, Tracy Lawrence

D7       G    C
Do you recall   when I was six
      Bm              G
I got lost out in the woods 
        D7
And you worried yourself sick
               G      C
What about the day  I got in my first fight
Bm            G       D7
Momma she got mad but you swelled up with pride
  Em                    C                  D7  Em
I never knew how deep a fathers love could run
        C     D7
Until I had a son

     G
From watching him learn how to crawl
   Em
To skinned up knees from skateboard falls
   C                                 D7
To praying he'd get through football alive
     G
From hearing his first words spoken
    Em
The first time his heart got broken
    C                                       D7
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
  Am                                    D7
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes thru
                   G
'Til I was a daddy too

D7   G                      C
Real love the kind that you can't understand
          Bm              G
Until you hold it in your arms 
    D7
And touch it with your hands
     G                              C
Pure joy the kind that you can only find
         G
When you live your life for them
    D7
And leave yourself behind
Em                C              D7
More and more I'm seeing life go by
                 
Thru my daddy's eyes

repeat #2

D7       G
The fast pace of time goes racing
     Em
From first grade to graduation
    C                                       D7
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
  Am                                    D7
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
                   G  Em
'Til I was a daddy too

  Am                                    D7
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
                   G
'Til I was a daddy too
