My Dad Lyrics

My Dad

My Dad

He's the man that I've looked up too

When I was young he taught me right from wrong

And My dad

Well he's always been my hero

So I had to take the time

To honor him within this song

When I was young

I wanted to

Grow up and be the kind of man

My daddy was

As I saw him through my eyes

He was strong but oh so gentle

He was funny and how we'd laugh

At the jokes he played upon us

No there was no one quite like dad

Now the years

Have turned his hair to silver

And my daddy's face

It now shows many miles

And you know

I talk to him most every week

That's when I turn back into that child

That sat there at my daddy's feet

As he played and sang those songs

I'm the man I am today because of him

Yes he's always been my hero

And I had to take this time

Because one day when I turn around

My daddy

He will be gone
