the mind of a moonstruck mommy

Since Father’s Day is coming up I decided to dedicate the next 2 Song of my Sundays to Dads!  There are soooo many songs about dads and for dads, it’s crazy….in a good way!  Hopefully there will be at least one song that reminds you of your dad, or any special male you’ve looked up to throughout the years.  My dad isn’t around anymore, but both my stepfather and father-in-law are such amazing men and have done so much for me… I am forever grateful for their love and kindness.

There are also a TON of songs written from the point of view of a Dad and I really love them, so they’re included too! If you are a Dad, I’m sure you’ll relate and smile… or shed a tear! (Just warning you, because some of them are definite tear jerkers!)

Click the song titles if you want to read the lyrics! Enjoy
