Lyrics

Love your father
While you can
And let him share his wisdom
Gained from this world as a man,
Love your father
While he's here
Make sure he knows you love him
And keep each other near

Its hard to appreciate age
When you're young
Most see it as a barrier
To being free, and having fun,
Parents on your back
If you're lucky both
Might not seem it at the time
But believe that's lucky strokes,
Dad worked hard
To pay for our needs
Didn't always get our wants
But had food clothes and heat,
Kept us in a house
And off the street
Not just a house but a home
Where love could roam free,
Would bounce me on his knee
Go to work in a truck
Always bring me back a gift
Like a Mr Men book,
Brought me back a radio
From one of his trips
Id listen constantly
Until the batteries dipped,
My intro to music
At least a big part
Found his how to draw books
My introduction to art,
Encouraged me
To follow my heart
Tried to help me make it make money
Always seemed to find it too hard tho

Love your father
While you can
And let him share his wisdom
Gained from this world as a man,
Love your father
While he's here
Make sure he knows you love him
And keep each other near

Our opinions may have differed
Creatively especially
But I always knew
He only wanted the best for me,
Didn't always listen
Looking back and I should
Mighta had fatter pockets
And be living life good,
Young children
Are impressionable
So he taught me to respect others
And be respectable,
Have manners
Know how to behave
In any situation
Depending how it dictates,
Consider your responses
How and who it affects
Be kind and think of others
Whether people or pets,
Live your life right
Without too many regrets
Mines I wish we'd spent more time
To talk and connect,
Excuses take over
Like being miles apart
Too late
Now theres a hole in my heart,
More fortunate than most
To have a father like him
Thankful for our time together
Every second a win, I love your dad

Love your father
While you can
And let him share his wisdom
Gained from this world as a man,
Love your father
While he's here
Make sure he knows you love him
And keep each other near
