Dad's Song

Do you believe in happy endings
Or the mendings of human hearts
Oh I believe in both I'm certain
Because these curtains are state of the art

If you occasionally happen to spy on me
You'd think I'm having one sided conversations
But I hear him talking back
You'd think I may even lack some sanity
But maybe I can't let go

So I'll say I finally wrote this song for you, dad
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Every tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and morals
To motivate and no short cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands.
My guardian angel until the very end

If I had it my way, I'd make this song last two days
It wouldn't be long enough to say all the memories that we shared
And the time we would play baseball in our bright backyard
Back when times weren't quite this hard
And record that song you sang to me
Never rang so loud before
Oh what I'd give for just another hug from you
You may be gone, but love will never die

I finally wrote this song for you, dad
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Every tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and morals
To motivate and no short cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands.
My guardian angel until the very end

"And though I've gone today
It doesn't mean I've gone away
Forever I swear that one day
We'll embrace again
Now go and sing til you turn blue
Cause I am so damn proud of you
And don't you dare think we are through
I've raised my baby boy and girl
Now go and take over the world today"

I finally wrote this song for you, dad
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Every tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and morals
To motivate and no short cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands.
My guardian angel until the very end
My guardian angel until the very end
My guardian angel until the very end
