I hope you remember me, I was your daddy once Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantelpiece Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail Into battle and in your shadow Your daddy loves you still, yes I do I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast And turn into the man I used to be But I hope you have more sense than I, in matters such as these Medals don't mean a **** when a family is lost at sea Into battle and in your shadow Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does Into battle and in your shadow Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you But they all fade away, must be a bad memory Into battle and in your shadow Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does Into battle and in your shadow Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does, yes he does
