Dan Hill - I Am My Father's Son Lyrics
The strongest man I ever knew
I never was a match for you
Always wanted your attention
Never knew just how to get it
Tried to be your opposite
I did it well...
Strange but true
How our lives are like a circle now, I'm very much like you
You were my unsolved mystery
Always barely out of reach
At baseball games when parents came
You were always missing
Had your meetings and promotions anyway
Somehow I knew
The more I tried to be so different, the more I was like you
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The first time that I saw you cry
Was the morning that your daddy died
I stood there in amazement
As you packed up your suitcase
I heard you say...
"Son I need you here to get me through the day"
And through your tears...
Saw the boy inside the man, it was suddenly so clear
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done
I am my father's son
What is love without forgiveness
When all is said and done
You did the best you could
I let go of the anger when I finally understood
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I'll always love you
Cause I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The strongest man I ever knew...

From Dan Hills 2009 album “Intimate”.
thank you,
The strongest man I ever knew
I never was a match for you
Always wanted your attention
Never knew just how to get it
So I rebelled...
Tried to be your opposite
I did it well...
Strange but true
How our lives are like a circle now, I'm very much like you
You were my unsolved mystery
Always barely out of reach
At baseball games when parents came
You were always missing
That's ok...
Had your meetings and promotions anyway
Somehow I knew
The more I tried to be so different, the more I was like you
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The first time that I saw you cry
Was the morning that your daddy died
I stood there in amazement
As you packed up your suitcase
I heard you say...
"Son I need you here to get me through the day"
And through your tears...
Saw the boy inside the man, it was suddenly so clear
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done
I am my father's son
What is love without forgiveness
When all is said and done
You did the best you could
I let go of the anger when I finally understood
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I'll always love you
Cause I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The strongest man I ever knew
To my irreplaceable Dad ... Happy Father's Day June 16, 2019 ... Evy (I am my Father's daughter)
Kaya ang matatanda kapag ang attitude ng mga bata ko g utusan ay padabog sa magutos sila na ang gagawa, ang hindi alam ng mga kabataan kapag nag kasakit ang matatanda at namatay wala ng magtatrabaho sa kanila, at sila din ang gagawa ng dati nilang hindi ginagawa, kong mahal ninyo mga magulang ninyo hindi gagawain katulong ng mga anak na mga kabataan, kaya totoo nasa huli ang pag sisisi, God bless you all may advised is to Know what Love is all about.
Thank you for sharing with me how your daddy went home to be with the Lord. I know how this must have hurt you, every day as you were growing up and right up to his last breath. You are very young to go through all that pain. I just want to tell you that. Also you must have been special to me because my daddy was gone from my life the moment I was old enough but I missed him and my mom each and every day. Finally when the pain was so great I turned to the Lord and he carried my sorrow, I hope and pray for you each day that God will carry your sorrow too so you can smile again, laugh again, love again, write again, play again,cuddle your best friend again, place your little hand in the man that took His cross for you, and find the strongest man in you. Thank you for writing and inviting me home with you this day. I will soon be house broken, lol Love, Michelle aka Sandra
Hi thank you honey, i need my daddy's son right now, so much.
Happy Birthday Dad ♥ I love you unconditionally ♥ (What is love without forgiveness...)
Even though ypu love me and you waited for me so long and you keep of hurting me go be honest I easily forget the man, , If tge man keep on hurting you meaning you do not love your woman , because if you really love your woman, you will not hurt your woman, what happened in the past I don't want to be repated again, and again, and I am not a Victim of Love, it doesnt matter kahit walang partner basta walang nananakit sa akin spiritually and physically, mas masaya ako ng walang partner, kong ang partner nananakit rin lang. It is not love when you are hurting your woman. Sound your partner is a criminal. What is love anyway? Kahit sino makakasagot nitong question naito. God bless you all.

I just knew my late dad when i was 10 standing on the stage singing for the 1st time in my life n my dad was one of the musician who back up all the artist.....when i start to sing,he put down his guitar n walk through the back stage n cried.....really miss him so much when he's gone. Al fatihah n RIP dad.😢😢😢
who left onions here?
YOUR FATHER WOULD BE SO DAM PROUD OF YOU,THANK YOU DAN FOR SHARING THE GIFT OF MUSIC WITH US,THANK YOU
His dad was proud of him. Dan Hill said in an interview he demoed the song back in 2003 and played it for his dad before he died, and his dad cried when he listened to it.
Very real, very transparent, very vulnerable, and ultimately, very strong.
THANK YOU DAN,A BEAUTIFUL SOUL
Love it, and I wish there was a video of him singing "Daddy's Song" as well.
Thank you for this song because my dad has past and it helps
Beautiful! I am my father's daughter...😪❤☝🙏
a nice variation from the old adage that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Dan Hill has a soulful heart and a heart-led soul. I've always admired his talent, and his humility through his career. Two songs mark his career for me: one at the beginning: Sometimes when we touch; and one nearer to the end: I am my father's son. After all is said and done: I am my Father's son. One can also read the whole Christian theme of the Father and the Son. Ths song must be the Holy Spirit.
Very emotional..i can't just stop my tears falling down from my eyes.
I too have always been in love with his songwriting since I bought Hold on, Longer Fuse and Frozen in the night...I still listen to them on a regular basis and his 80's 90's etc music. A wonderful emotional singer songwriter that I never tire of
I still love this soulful man's music after 30+ years!!!!
i was quite upset because yahoo & google cant provide any lyrics of this awesome song
Simply beautiful.
