he looked into his daughters eyes and said "baby, i'm so proud of you"
he still sees his little girl, the one he took to school
all grown up, wearing white, she holds her daddy tight,
daddy tell her one more time, he said, everythings gonna be alright

and he said, everythings gonna be alright
I'm here with you, your my shining light
I carry you through the troubles in your life,
everythings gonna be alright, baby, everythings gonna be alright

years go slowly by, her daddy's eyes start to fade
in a hospital where he lies, she kneels and prays
by her daddys side, she starts to cry,
wipes a tear from her eyes and says, daddy, everythings gonna be alright

and she said (chorus)

today the angels came, their whispering his name
they've come to carry him away
and in his darkest hour, in his final breath,
he reaches for his daughter, says baby I've done my best

everythings gonna be alright, (Chorus)
