Song For Dad

By axehappy - [email protected] *************************************************************************** INTRO Lately I've been noticing I say the same things he used to say, And I even find myself acting the very same way. I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul, And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go. When I look in the mirror, he's right there in my eyes, Starin' back at me and I realize: The older I get, the more I can see, How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. And he did the best that he could, And I only hope when I have my own family That every day I see a little more of my father in me. There were times I thought he was bein' just a little bit hard on me. But now I understand he was makin' me Become the man he knew that I could be. In everything he ever did, he always did with love, And I'm proud today to say I'm his son. When somebody says 'I hope I get to meet your dad', I just smile and say 'You already have'. The older I get, the more I can see, How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. And he did the best that he could, And I only hope when I have my own family That every day I see a little more of my father in me. He's in my eyes, my heart, my soul, My hands, my pride, And when I feel alone and I think I can't go on, I hear him sayin' 'Son, you'll be alright, Everything's gonna be alright'. INSTRUMENTAL The older I get, the more I can see, How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. And he did the best that he could, And I only hope when I have my own family That every day I see, oh I hope I see, I hope every day I see a little more of my father in me. A little more of my father in me. I hope everyday I see in me, In me, In me, I hope everyday I see, A little more of my father in me.
