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 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 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 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 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
