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, mmm 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 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, mmm 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 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 every day I see, oh, I hope I see Ooh, I hope every day I see a little more of my father in me Yeah, 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
