Song For Dad

Lately I've been noticin' I say the same things he used to say

And I even find myself actin' 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

And 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

Yeah, yeah

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 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 think I can't go on

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

Everything is gonna be alright, yes, it is

The older I get, the more I can see

That 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, oh, I hope I see

I hope everyday I see a little more of my father in me

Yeah, 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
