Father and Friend Songtext

von Alain Clark

Son:
Oh papa sit down and hear my song
Oh and if you feel like it then, please sing along
No nothing that I want to say I haven't said before
But to use your words you can never be too sure
See even though I don't always show
I said I'm glad that you're around!

Father:
Oh son it's so strange to hear and see
That someone so different is so like me
You may have gone right, where I would have gone left,
But son that's alright, I will always have your back.
See even though I don't always show
I am proud that you're my son.

Old days and all of the new wanting to be like you

Chorus:
Every time I look at you, I see myself, I'm so proud of you.
For you help make me what I am,
A better man,
I'm just so proud of you!

Son:
Oh dad your views in life, tell me how they came to be,

Father:
Well see I didn't know my father like the way that you know me.
Son life is just too short for us to never be in touch,

Son:
Oh that's why I want to tell you that I love you very much.
Oh even though, I don't always show you know.
And I want you to know that

Chorus:
Every time I look at you, I see myself, I'm so proud of you.
For you help make me what I am, a better man,
I'm here and I'll be if I can, A father and a friend.
Everytime I look at you

Son:
Everytime I look at you, I see myself, and I'm so proud of you,
For you help make me what I am a son and a friend
I'm just so proud of you.
You know that one day too I'll be walking in your shoes
Father:
Yeah and I know that you'll do fine cause you're a son of mine
Son:
Oh hey papa tell me what you've learned so that I don't get my fingers burned,
Father:
Son you'll see that as you'll make mistakes of your own,
But that's o.k. man see you live and you learn,
You live and you learn
