Pro Tip: Pack some tissues.

“Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle

Best Lyric: “All the precious time, like the wind, the years go by Precious butterfly. Spread your wings and fly.”

“Song for Dad” by Keith Urban

Best Lyric: “There were times I thought he was being just a little bit hard on me, but now I understand he was making me become the man he knew that I could be.”

“Dance With My Father” by Luther Vandross

Best Lyric: “If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him, I’d play a song that would never ever end. Cause I’d love to dance with my father again.”

“Daddy” by Beyoncé

Best Lyric: “You’ve given me such security, no matter what mistakes I know you’re there for me. You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain. You understood my fears and you protected me. Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that’s why I want my unborn son to be like my daddy.”

“Papa, Can You Hear Me?” by Barbra Streisand

Best Lyric: “Papa, how I love you. Papa, how I need you. Papa, how I miss you kissing me goodnight.”

“My Father’s Eyes” by Eric Clapton

Best Lyric: “Then the jagged edge appears through the distant clouds of tears. I’m like a bridge that was washed away. My foundations were made of clay. As my soul slides down to die, how could I lose him? What did I try? Bit by bit, I’ve realized that he was here with me.”

“Daddy Lessons” by Beyoncé and Dixie Chicks

Best Lyric: “Came into this world, daddy’s little girl. And Daddy made a soldier out of me. Daddy made me dance and Daddy held my hand.”

“Just the Two of Us” by Will Smith

Best Lyric: “I know I loved you more than life itself. Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please let me be a good daddy. All he needs love, knowledge, discipline, too. I pledge my life to you.”

“My Father’s House” by Bruce Springsteen

Best Lyric: “My father’s house shines hard and bright. It stands like a beacon calling me in the night. Calling and calling so cold and alone, shining ‘cross this dark highway, where our sins lie unatoned.”

“Winter” by Tori Amos

Best Lyric: I put my hand in my father’s glove. I run off where the drifts get deeper, sleeping beauty trips me with a frown. I hear a voice: ‘You must learn to stand up for yourself, cause I can’t always be around.”
