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
