I feel like my father Watching my hair turn grey. Saying the things hed say When I was a kid I feel like my father Zippering up your gown. Living here in this town The way that he did And if he could see me now, Im sure that hed agree That Ive become the man he wanted me to be I feel like my father Watching my child grow. Not wanting to let him go Hes out of my hands I feel like my father Straightening up my tie. Finding it hard to cry I know hes understand And if I could only let him know the way I feel Then I could wash away this wound and let it heal I feel like my father Putting on shaving cream. Saying goodbye to dreams Just letting them pass I feel like my father Hes not who I planned to be, but here looking back at me Is his face in the glass And if he could only see my child as he plays Hed be the first to know that someday that boy will say I feel like my father I feel like my father I feel like my father I feel like my father
father, feel, like, hed, zippering
