I’m a dad.pikuson

Surely... I'll be laughing through tears... (^_-)-☆ “I’m a dad.” ☆ For the father of the bride too... Piano & Vocal ♡

Struggling with diaper changes, dozing off while trying to put the baby to sleep.

She didn’t like it when I kissed her cheek, but hearing “I’m going to marry Daddy” made me so happy—that’s what being a dad is.

She grows up, finds someone she likes, and says, “There’s someone I want you to meet.” I can’t remember the last time I held her, but even when our hands let go, a dad is still a dad.

It’s a wonderful ballad that powerfully conveys the clumsy yet wholehearted love of a father for his daughter.
