From the recordings A Time to Move On and You're My Dad
Memories of the man that inspired, taught, loved and raised a family with the art of living. And how his influence molded nearly everyone he knew, especially the people closest to him.
Lyrics
Thinking back over the years
And trying to hold back all the tears
Of life and love and happiness and sorrow
I look into your eyes and see
A love that has encouraged me
And I realize you have been my hero
You're my dad and I'm happy as can be that I'm your son
You're my dad and it's good for me to see who we've become
Hanging out at the Y.O.
I know that it's good, good for the soul
Dreaming about a cabin in Wyoming
Skipping rocks along Northshore
Hiking up and down Lord Gore
Wondering how the time became so golden
You're my dad and I'm happy as can be that I'm your son
You're my dad and it's good for me to see who we've become
Driving across America, flying off to Africa
Remembering the smiles from sea to sea
Heading down to Disneyland
I'm a walking with you hand in hand
Getty up a pony on your knee
Thinking back over the years
And trying to hold back all the tears
Of life and love and happiness and sorrow
I step into a mirror
And see the man that I was meant to be
And I realize you're my hero
You're my dad and I'm happy as can be that I'm your son
You're my dad and it's good for you to see who I've become
