Lately I′ve been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I′m ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He′s right there in my eyes
Starin′ back at me and I realize

The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

There were times I thought he was bein′
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin′ me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I′m proud today to say I′m his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have

The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

He′s in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone

And I think I can′t go on
I hear him sayin′ "Son you′ll be alright"
Everything′s gonna be alright"
Yes it is

The older I get
The more I can see
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
Oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

A little more of my father in me
I hope everyday I see in me
In me
In me
I hope everyday I see

A little more of my father in me
