Love Song For My Father

You were right when you said to me
That the measure of success
Is the friends a man can count on
Not the things he may possess
You said life's no dress rehearsal
And you can't retake the test
Your good can always get better
Till your better becomes your best

Deep in my heart you're still alive
Showin' me the way, helpin' me survive
And it's hard when my tears flow down like water
Writin' this love song for my father

You said trust what your feelings say
And don't keep them at arm's length
'Cause a man unashamed to cry
Is a tower of inner strength
I never knew anybody wiser
And I prob'ly never will
'Cause you taught me by example
And I'm learning from you still

Deep in my heart you're still alive
Showin' me the way, helpin' me survive
And it's hard when my tears flow down like water
Writin' this love song for my father

I'm writin' this love song for my father
