right here waiting - redd alexander lyrics

Loading...

verse 1
i can still see the day
tears rolled down her freckled face
she’d bat her eyes and look up at me
beg one more day, daddy, pretty please
i got her on the bus with the help of her favorite snack
and the promise that i made her, when she got back

chorus
that i would be right here waiting
when she walked through the door
her bouncin’ curls remindin’ me
there is nothin’ i love more
that hearin’ her explain to me
those things she never knew before
i’ll always be right here waiting
cuz thats what dads are for

verse 2
it wasn’t long before them boys at school
took an interest in my baby, too
the phone line was nothin’ but a busy tone
and before i knew it, she had brought one home
i shook his hand til i felt them poor bones crack
and i told him that the last thing he’d see, when they got back

chorus
was me sittin’ right here waiting
they could say goodnight at the door
that look in his eyes, his face so white
like nothin’ i’d seen before
but the taillight glow as they drove away
it chilled me to the core
spent all night waiting
cuz thats what dads are for

verse 3
and through all the years, the phonecall tears
flat tires, and more
they could not prepare me for what today has in store
but the way you light up that boy’s face
i can’t ignore
and you look just like an angel
in that dress your mama wore

chorus
and he will be right there waiting
when we walk through the door
the long walk down the aisle
will be all he can endure
but we’ll take our time
i’ll hold you tight like all those years before
and then i’ll stand right there waiting
cuz thats what dads are for

outro
i can still see the day
tears rolled down her freckled face
