Fathers

opening thought
I'm just like my dad
but he's nothing like me.
Two peas in a pod but poles apart
on this much we can agree.
verse 1
He lost his dad in the waves of war
in a time when fathers were seldom seen.
He stood by me when his world fell apart
but it's still not what it should have been.
chorus
My father taught me the ways of the world.
Work hard, be polite and find the right girl.
Soon he'll been gone and the lesson's all done.
The passing of wisdom from father to son.
verse 2
When I look into my child's eyes
I wonder what he sees.
A father who's with him every day of his life.
Is he sick of the sight of me.
mid 8
It's high time our better halves should meet,
set aside out differences and make our lives complete.
Don't let history repeat itself, don't let the years drift by,
not enough words have been exchanged
with too many reasons why.
chorus
