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
