Smile and a Helping Hand

I was your age my Dad said to me
What's with that hair boy?
You're looking like a Hippie
And that's not you
Tomorrow morning go get it cut
End of discussion no ifs ands or buts
It's long over do

Sure we would argue time and again
But you know love always won out in the end
If ever in trouble he'd come on demand
With a smile and a helping hand

Let's talk about music he never liked mine at all
One day he rushed in yelling didn't you hear me call?
Turn it down
Yes I did protest saying this isn't fair
Not realizing how much he really cared
If I knew then what I know now

Sure we would argue time and again
But you know love always won out in the end
If ever in trouble he'd be there on demand
With a smile and a helping hand

I know how you're feeling
What you're going through
I've been there before
Just like you
Someday you'll thank me
And truly understand
The love behind a smile
And the power of a helping hand

Not much difference here between you and I
Just like me you want to
Spread your wings and fly
It will all come in time

Sure we will argue time and again
But you know love always won out in the end
If ever in trouble I'll be there on
