Two in the morning, I hear him cry for “ Mommy!”
I pick her up and feel the heat from his little-bitty body
Back to bed, we snuggle up, he sleeps so peacefully
Now I understand, what it means to be a daddy

I leave before daybreak, he’s still lost in his dreams
I call around nine, just to see how his day gonna be
The phone rings and no matter what cartoon is on
He jumps up and runs to mommy “ Is Daddy’s on the Phone?”

Unconditional love of my little man
Each day I win the prize, “Best Daddy in the Land”
No greater honor can be bestowed on a man
Be the Best Daddy; my little boy thinks I am

I come home from work and I’m barely into the drive
He’s jumping for joy, when I come into sight
He yells to Mommy “ Daddy’s home” and runs into my arms
His “Best Daddy”,…can do no wrong

Unconditional love of my little man
Each day I win the prize, “Best Daddy in the Land”
No greater honor can be bestowed on a man
Be the Best Daddy; my little boy thinks I am
