Tears In My Daddy's Eyes

Tears In My Daddy's Eyes He was always my pillar when I knew I'd fall Always my anchor, so strong and tall His hard face changes only for me His softer side, so careless and free He knows my dreams are too big for this place His little girl's leaving, ready to begin her race He knows I'll be thinking of him wherever I go I know I'm ready to do this on my own But still I cry and he holds me tight He tries to be strong, not a tear in sight I'm ready to reach for the stars in the sky He's ready to watch his princess fly It's time to let go, sure of a path to take But now I know, even pillars can break For when I drive away, trying to stifle my cries All I could see were tears in my father's eyes.
