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 heavent said before
But to use your words you can never be too sure
see even though I don't always show
I'm glad that your around I said I'm glad that you're around

oh son it's so strange to hear and see
that someone so different is a soul like me
you may have gone right where I would have gone left
but son that's allright I'll always have your back
see even though I don't always show
I'm glad that you're my son
old days and all of the new wanted to be like you
everytime I look at you I see myself i'm so proud of you
for you helped make me what I am a better man
I'm just so proud of you

O dad if you've seen life tell me how that came to be
well I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
so life is just to short for us to never be in touch
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
everytime I look at you I see myself and I'm so proud of you
you will make me what I am a better man
I'm just so proud of you
I'm here and I'll be if I can a father and a friend

everytime I look at you
everytime I look at you I see myself and I'm so proud of you
you will 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
and I know that you'll do fine
'cause your a son of mine
Oh dear papa tell me what you've learned
so that I don't get my fingers burned
son you'll see that as you go
you'll make mistakes of your own
thats okay men
see you live and you learn
you live and you learn
