| 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
|
| 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’s 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 |
