Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I still set your coffee On the counter some days Talk to your old ball cap Like you never went away I hear your Sunday laughter In my little boy’s grin Every time the screen door creaks Feels like you’re walkin’ in [Chorus] So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?” When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see I feel you in that gentle breeze Brushin’ tears right off my cheek You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free You’re not here, but you’re still here Right at home inside of me [Verse 2] I still hear your gravel voice Say, “girl, just do your best” When the world gets heavy I can feel you in my chest You’re the steady in my shaking Every time I stand alone You taught me where my roots are Now they’re deeper than the stone [Chorus] So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?” When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see I feel you in that gentle breeze Brushin’ tears right off my cheek You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free You’re not here, but you’re still here Right at home inside of me [Bridge] I can’t hold your hand But I can hold your words In the quiet of the night Every promise still heard When the branches start to sway And the porch light softly swings I swear I hear you say “I’m right here in everything” (mm) [Chorus] So I look up, say “hey Dad, can you see me?” When the sky turns that old blue you loved to see I feel you in that gentle breeze Brushin’ tears right off my cheek You’re my daddy on the wind, ridin’ high and free You’re not here, but you’re still here Right at home inside of me [Outro] You’re my daddy on the wind Right at home inside of me
