Pitter Patter On the Floor

I still hear the pitter patter on the floor Of you running to see me over by the door Whenever I came home, I'm so sad that you have grown I still hear the pitter patter on the floor I still hear you calling out my name Daddy can you help me once again I wrecked my bike, and skinned my knee, daddy could you help me please. I still hear you calling out my name I still hold your hand as we walk Missing all the questions and our talks You'd take my hand to tuck you in, you'll always be my little man I still hold your hand as we walk I wish I could take the pain away When your first love turned and walked away It's a lesson that we all go through, but son please know that I love you I wish I could take the pain away I hope that I'm more than just your dad And all those times I know I've made you mad Were lessons that you'll thank me for, the day that you walk out the door I hope that I'm more than just your dad I hope happiness is all you know From a young boy to a man you have grown As you take her hand and start a life, respect her, love her, do what's right I hope happiness is all you know I pray your blessed with a son of your own So you can feel love that I have known Pass on to him what I've taught you before your time on earth is through I pray your blessed with a son of your own Son your hero is turning old and gray I still think about you every single day We don't talk as much as I'd like too but son still known that I love you Your hero is turning old and gray I'll still love till my dying day
