INTRO
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,
D(add9)
When I look in the mirror, he's right there in my eyes,
D(add9)
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.
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,
D(add9)
When somebody says 'I hope I get to meet your dad',
D(add9)
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's gonna be alright'.
INSTRUMENTAL
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, oh I hope I see,
I hope every day 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.
