Fathers Love
Watching my son play I suddenly see myself,
Myself as a young boy
A boy with dreams so bright,
Dreams I dare only dream with the darkness of night
I could be anything and yet I was everything,
Within my dreams I lived free
Free for all and for all to see
Dreaming was everything to me
Dreams were all I had you see
As a young boy I was all alone
The pain of a missing family often shown
And finally I found you,
Watching you play, I find you
Forgetting days past I now live within you,
Sharing dreams of a future limitless,
Bounds not yet known,
For this is something you learn when you are grown
For have no fear
I will always be here
By your side standing with pride
Bursting with joy for you are my boy
Even when you think why bother
I want you to remember
I will always be your father!
