"Song for Dad" Lyrics

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
Starin' 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 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.

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 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 thnk I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright,
Everything's gonna be alright."

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 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...
