Father & Friend

Alain Clark

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

Oh sonny, 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 alright, I will always have your back
See even though, I don't always show
I'm proud of you, my son

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

Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
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

Oh dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be
Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
Dane: son, life is just too short, for us to never be in touch
That's why I want to tell you that I love you very much
Oh even though, I don't always show
You know
Oh and I want you to know that

Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
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

I'm here and I'll be if I can
A father and a friend

Every time I look at you

Every time I look at you (what you see?)
I see myself (oh yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
Son and a friend
I'm just so proud of you

You know that one day too
I'll be walking in your shoes
Yeah and I know that you'll do fine
'Cause you're a son of mine
Oh hey 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
But that's okay man
See you live and you learn
You live and you learn
