Lyrics
I went outside
And looked around
At the world that I grew up in
It's finally slowing down
I remember on the day my daddy died
Yes, I remember
I stood out here and cried
And I planted a rose in his name
Never thinking it would remain
Oh, I remember
When my daughter turned 16
Yes, I remember
She wanted to be prom queen
So I took her outside and said
Why don't you pick a rose
from Papa Ted
Yes, I remember
When she came home that night
Yes, I remember
Did you have a good time?
She just looked at me and said
Daddy, I danced all night with Papa Ted
I remember
Tears rolled down my cheek
Yes, I remember
This is how it'll be
When my time on earth is through
And there's nothing left for me to do
She'll remember
She'll remember
She'll remember
She'll remember
