What can I say to this child of my own
When he looks up to me for the answers?
You got trust in his eyes and such innocent ways.

What are the words I can say?

Can I tell him of my life,

And can it be used for his own life's goals and examples?
To follow and fondly remember some day,
What are the words I can say?


I could say "I was once was a boy just like you,
And I understand the things you're feeling."

But gray hair and lines on my face just might say
"The old man is always acting that way."


And now I think of my daddy, he wore these kind of shoes.
And after all this time, I think I know him.
I'd like to say I love him, but the time has passed away.

What are the words I can say?
