Walk a Little Slower Dad, I Love You

Walk a little slower, Daddy,
Said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.

Did I ever say thanks
for all the toys you mended,
games we played, outings to the park,
and the way you always
tried to cheer me when I was down?

Did I ever say thanks for
the sacrifices you made
so I could be involved
in so many enriching activities?
Did I ever say thanks for working so hard
to provide for our family?

Did I ever say thanks
for having such faith in me
and always being there when I needed you?
Most of all, Did I ever say thanks for caring?
DAD, I LOVE YOU
