Best Friend

I HAVE WATCHED YOU GROWING AND I LIKE WHAT I SEE
I SEE YOUR MOM AND DAD IN YOU AND A LITTLE BIT OF ME
THIS WORLD IS TOUGHER THAN YOU THINK, GOOD FRIENDS ARE HARD TO FIND
I'LL ALWAYS LET YOU MAKE YOUR WAY BUT I'LL BE CLOSE BEHIND

WELL I KNOW YOU MISS YOUR DADDY, WELL, I MISS MY DADDY TOO
BUT I REALLY LOVE YOUR MOMMA AND YOU KNOW WE BOTH LOVE YOU
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DAD
BUT IF YOU PUT SOME TRUST IN ME, I JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST FRIEND
THE BEST FRIEND YOU EVER HAD

I WAS JUST ABOUT YOU AGE WHEN MY DADDY WENT AWAY
AND THOUGH I TRIED I COULD NOT FIND THE WORDS TO MAKE HIM STAY
THE YEARS ROLLED ON WE MET A MAN WHO WANTED MOMMA'S HAND
AND THOUGH I WANTED HIM TO GO, HE HAD OTHER PLANS

HE SAID "I KNOW YOU MISS YOUR DADDY, WELL, I MISS MY DADDY TOO
BUT I REALLY LOVE YOUR MOMMA AND YOU KNOW WE BOTH LOVE YOU
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DAD
BUT IF YOU PUT SOME TRUST IN ME, I JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST FRIEND
THE BEST FRIEND YOU EVER HAD"

AND YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT SO BAD
WHEN YOU CAN'T HAVE WHAT YOU WANT
TRY TO LEARN TO LOVE THE THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

WELL I KNOW YOU MISS YOUR DADDY, WELL, I MISS MY DADDY TOO
BUT I REALLY LOVE YOUR MOMMA AND YOU KNOW WE BOTH LOVE YOU
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DAD
BUT IF YOU PUT SOME TRUST IN ME, I JUST MIGHT BE
THE BEST FRIEND YOU EVER HAD
