What's a dad for, dad
tell me why i'm here dad
whisper in my ear
that i'm growing up
to be a better man, dad
everything is fine, dad
now that you are mine dad
cause i know that i'm growing up
to be a better man
Father i will always be
that same boy that stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me
now i'm older
i want to be the same as you
What's a dad for, dad
tell me how to stand, dad
took me by the hand dad
and showed me how
to be a bigger man, dad
listen as you talk dad
fallow where you walk dad
and you know that i will always
do the best i can
Father i will always be
that same boy that stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me
now i'm older
i want to be the same as you
as you
Father i will always be
that same boy that stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me
now i'm older
i want to be the same as you
Father i will always be
(*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?)
that same boy that stood by the sea
(tell me it'll be okay dad, it'll be okay dad)
and watched you tower over me
(do the best you can dad, do the best you can dad)
now i'm older, i want to be the same as you
(always understood dad, always understood dad)
father i will always be
(tell me what was right dad, tell me what was right dad)
that same boy that stood by the sea
(you opened up my eyes dad, opened up my eyes dad)
and watched you tower over me
(now i call you my dad, now i call you my dad)
now i'm older i want to be the same as you
(anything you want dad, anything you want dad)
The last part is hard to make out what is said in the background, and i'm not sure this is entirely correct, so if you know what it says for sure, please share!
