Intro

Verse 1

I hope you remember me, I was your daddy once

Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails

To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantlepiece

Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail

Chorus 1

Into battle, and in your shadow

  Your daddy loves you still

  Yes I do

Verse 2

I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast

And turn into the man I used to be

I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as these

Medals don't mean shit, when a family is lost at sea

Chorus 2

Into battle, and in your shadow

  Your daddy loves you still

  Yes he does, yes he does

Chorus 3

Into battle, and in your shadow

  Your daddy loves you still

  Yes he does, yeah yes he does

Bridge

  I save every moment, I've reached out and almost touched you

  But they all fade away; must be a bad memory

INSTRUMENTAL [INTRO + VERSE]:

Chorus 4

Into battle, and in your shadow

  Your daddy loves you still

Chorus 5

Into battle, and in your shadow

  Your daddy loves you still

  Yes he does, yeah yes he does

Yes he does
