I heard this absolutely beautiful song called “Daddy” at the end of Curious George by a group called LaughingPizza and I just had to find out more about it and hear it again and again. It truly got to me and I think it will for any parent. Such a sweet sentiment and such a lovely song.

I love how it describes the way the dad is missed when he goes away to work and how the child loves the way they play, in such a way that the mom can’t even bare to look. We might play rougher but we will always be there to catch them if they fall.

You can hear the whole song here on their website. You can buy the song for .99 cents or get it for free by liking the LaughingPizza fan page on Facebook. It’s truly worth it either way.

Here are the lyrics

Daddy

You are my Daddy
I am your girl
You’re the best daddy in the whole wide world
I miss you so
When you go away
Won’t you come home soon so that we can play?
The way we love to play
You throw me up
So high in the air
But I know that you’ll catch me
You’ll always be there
You push me higher
So high in my swing
till I feel like I/m flying
Just like a bird with wings
Like a bird with wings
But Mommy won’t watch
No she just turns away
She gets too nervous the way that we play
Oh it just makes us giggle
It’s like a joke that we share
Cause whatever we do
I feel so safe in your care
You’re the best Daddy
And I’m your best girl
And please know that I love you
While you travel the world
There’s no one like you
And there’ll never be
You’re my prince, you’re my Daddy
Forever my Daddy
You’re the best Daddy for me
