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
