In My Father's Arms
by Carly Thomas (Gypsy Butterfly)
Brought me into this world
A twinkle in his eye
Watched me growing up
He watched me laugh and cry
There was a time
When he seemed so far away
I always knew within my heart
On his knees he'd pray
CHORUS
'Cause in my father's arms
I find comfort
In my father's arms
I find rest
As he sings his song gently to me
I know my Daddy is the best
I know my Daddy is the best
I grew into a woman
With troubles of my own
He was always there for me
On the telephone
He always knew just what to say
To show me that he cared
I am so thankful
For the time we have shared
