We both know that I've been nothin' like the perfect dad,
I hope you know I've done my best with the struggles I have had,
Through the years I've stood and watched you grow from boy to man,

There's couple of things I've grown to understand.

When you're lonely make a friend

When you're sorry make amends
Never take more than you're lovin' can buy,
Never run faster than your angels can fly.


A little girl is like a flower growing in God's hand,
A heart and soul more frail than any castle in the sand,

And if I've been a little rough I never meant to be
I hope you know you mean the world to me.


When you're lonely call a friend,
When you're sorry make amends,
Never take more than you're lovin' can buy,

Never run faster than your angels can fly.

-instrumental chorus-


I hope you children understand you can do no wrong,
There's somethin' special 'bout a dad who lives from song to song,

They'll always be a lovin' home waiting here for you,
Somebody loves you no matter what you do.


-1st chorus-
