Gotta love Dad!

There are soooo many songs about dads and for dads, it's crazy... in a good way! Hopefully there will be at least one song that reminds you of your dad, or any special male you've looked up to throughout the years. My dad isn't around anymore, but both my stepfather and father-in-law are such amazing men and have done so much for me! I am forever grateful for their love and kindness.
There are also a TON of songs written from the point of view of a Dad and I really love them, so they're included too! If you are a Dad, I'm sure you'll relate and smile or shed a tear! (Just warning you, because some of them are definite tear jerkers!)

I've also included a link to the lyrics for each song, just click above the videos, where it says "lyrics to..."

Lyrics to Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind

I read a paper my dad wrote in college and it said that "material things can't go with you, so they shouldn't worry you." Although I like a little pretty every now and then, I still think the best gift is time with the people you love.
