Song for Dad

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.



Chorus:

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 everyday 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.



Chorus:

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 everyday 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 thnk I can't go on

I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright,

Everything's gonna be alright."



Chorus:

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 everyday 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...
