Lyrics

Building Her Tomorrow
©Schantell Wharton

(Verse 1)
Five a.m., streetlights cast a lonely glow
Coffee brewing, bittersweet symphony, you already know
She's tossing in her sleep, dreams tangled with teenage fears
Prom dress sprawled across the floor, a future filled with tears

(Pre-Chorus)
Another heartbreak, another lie
But daddy's love will never die

(Chorus)
From boys who whisper empty words, and promises they can't keep
I'll be the foundation, strong and true, where her shattered dreams can sleep
Teaching her the strength it takes, not to tear herself apart
Building her tomorrow, brick by brick, with every beat of my heart

(Verse 2)
Breakfast silence speaks volumes, unspoken questions in her eyes
"Is love a battlefield, daddy? Where only the strongest survive?"
I swallow the lump in my throat, a truth I can't disguise
Love's a tender tapestry, woven with laughter and cries

(Pre-Chorus)
But some threads fray, some colors fade, that's the nature of the game
But with every tear she lets me see, I'll mend the places where it's frayed

(Chorus)
From boys who whisper empty words, and promises they can't keep
I'll be the foundation, strong and true, where her shattered dreams can sleep
Teaching her the strength it takes, not to tear herself apart
Building her tomorrow, brick by brick, with every beat of my heart

(Bridge)
One day, a prince may come along, with eyes that truly see
The fire within her spirit, the woman she's meant to be
But until then, I'll be her knight, her champion, her guiding light
Building her tomorrow, a future shining oh so bright

(Chorus)
From boys who whisper empty words, and promises they can't keep
I'll be the foundation, strong and true, where her shattered dreams can sleep
Teaching her the strength it takes, not to tear herself apart
Building her tomorrow, brick by brick, with every beat of my heart

(Outro)
Building her tomorrow, a love that's built to last
My little girl, my forever love, a future that won't fade too fast
