I’d like to say that you’re the one I look up to
And all my life I’ve always tried to be like you
You’re little man, and you’re biggest fan
But then I’d just be wishin’ for what I never had
A lovin’ father instead of just a weekend dad
Liquor on his breath, and me scared to death

When you come around, I’d like to see my Daddy
Not some wild eyed stranger who shows up once in awhile
A soul that’s found all the things that he’s been missin'
And you finally turned that corner in your life
Each night I pray that we both see the day
When you come around

Lord knows we’d have a lot of catchin' up to do
There’s so many things I’d love to share with you
Maybe take a walk, a little time to talk
You could call us up to spend some time with your grandson
Tell stories and take fishin’ while he’s still young
We could finally be, a real family

When you come around, I’d like to see my Daddy
Not some wild eyed stranger who shows up once in awhile
A soul that’s found there’s still time for livin’
And you finally turned that corner in your life
Each night I pray that we both see the day
When you come around

(Bridge)
To have you in my life would be a dream come true
For me to say I love and to hear you say it too

When you come around, I’d like to see my Daddy
Not some wild eyed stranger who shows up once in awhile
A soul that’s found all it takes to be forgiven
Is to finally turn that corner in your life
I can’t wait to be standing there that day
When you come around
