Song for Dad

[Verse 1]

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

Staring 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 every day I see

A little more of my father in me

[Verse 2]

There were times I thought he was being

Just a little bit hard on me

But now I understand he was making 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 every day I see

A little more of my father in me

[Bridge]

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 saying "Son, you'll be all right"

Everything's going to be all right"

Yes, it is

[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 every day I see

A little more of my father in me

[Outro]

A little more of my father in me

I hope every day I see in me

In me

In me

I hope every day I see

A little more of my father in me
