Daddy's Little Man

[Verse 1] Now I lay me down to sleep I pray to the Lord my baby's soul to keep And that's all I ask He believes in the Golden Rule Santa and the Ol' Lady who lived in a shoe I'm his guiding hand and he's my best friend [Verse 2] He is just a little boy We build bridges from nothing more than Tinker-Toys That we'll cross again He stumbles through the living room Doing his best to fill his Daddy's shoes Guess he wants to be just like me [Chorus] In his eyes I'm a hero But he don't know how that scares me I'm so much less than a Superman But for him I try to be Cause one day he'll be gone so far from home Too old to hold my hand But I'll be his biggest fan And he'll still be Daddy's little man [Verse 3] He climbs in bed with Mr. Bear And closes his eyes to say his bedtime prayers Another day is through He says, "Daddy's great and God is good Let us thank him for our food" And God understood He knows how children do God was a Daddy too [Chorus] In his eyes I'm a hero But he don't know how that scares me I'm so much less than a Superman But for him I try to be Cause one day he'll be gone so far from home Too old to hold my hand But I'll be his biggest fan And he'll still be Daddy's little man
