An excellent Father's Day song, and highly placed on the Country charts, this song was written in appreciation of my Dad on his 70th birthday.
I am a songwriter dedicated to spreading the good news about the love and mercy of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Story behind the song
As my father's 70th birthday approached, I began to reflect on the life he had struggled to give us. From all of his hard work to his unrelenting, loving discipline, he was always there for us. I thank God for my good Dad!
Lyrics
“I Know About Good Dads” – by Hank Stansfield
Good dads teach you right from wrong
In words and in deeds
And they're always filled with love
As they fulfill your needs
Oh, they never stop their giving, even when the day is done
I know about good dads, because I've got me one
Good dads treat their wives like queens
And they never make them sad
Good dads don't give up on teens
Even when they're really bad
Oh, they pray for storms to pass by and they always pass the test
I know about good dads, because my dad's the best
(bridge)
So many people want to thank you
And say there's no one we'd rather have
‘Cause princes, kings and heroes could never take your place
Good dads make the finest grandpas
And they make the finest friends
Even when the nest is empty
You know the welcome never ends
Oh, you never see them aging because they're always young at heart
I know about good dads, because my dad's a star
I know about good dads, because my dad's the best
I know about good dads
