VERSE 1:
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 mantlepiece
Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail
CHORUS 1:
Into battle, and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still
Yes I do
VERSE 2:
I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast
And turn into the man I used to be
I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as these
Medals don't mean shit, when a family is lost at sea
CHORUS 2:
Into battle, and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still
Yes he does, yes he does
CHORUS 3:
Into battle, and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still
Yes he does, yeah yes he does
BRIDGE:
I save every moment, I've reached out and almost touched you
But they all fade away; must be a bad memory
