How to Say I Love You

You taught me how to ride a bike when I was only three
You told me not to cry when I fell down and cut my knees
You showed me how to play guitar to all your favourite songs
I could tell that you were proud of me when I played along
You never said it, but I knew
After all you've given me
I wanna give something to you

Let me show you how to say I love you
It's okay for you to tell me how you feel
I wanna open up my arms and hug you
I've never seen you cry, you keep it bottled up inside
Fathers find it harder than mothers do
So let me show you how to say I love you

You taught me how to shake a hand and always grip it tight
And every time I raise a glass to look them in the eye
How to be a gentleman and how to talk to girls
You said I could do anything I wanted in this world
And all of my dreams have come true
After all you've given me
I wanna give something to you

Let me show you how to say I love you
It's okay for you to tell me how you feel
I wanna open up my arms and hug you
I've never seen you cry, you keep it bottled up inside
Fathers find it harder than mothers do
So let me show you how to say I love you

It's hard to show emotion
When you're raised to feel it's wrong
But I don't think it makes you weak
I think it makes you strong
I just want to thank you for everything you do
I'm the man I am today, all because of you
Fathers find it harder than mothers do
So let me show you how to say I love you
