Urban, Keith - Song For Dad Lyrics






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

    No matter how many ups and downs I have with my father This song is how I feel about my father every single day. I feel like crying.

  2. A.... E....

    My Mommy Passed Away August 3rd 2007 Surrounded By All Her Family,Friends 😢💔 I Was Laying On Her Chest When She Took Her Last Breath 😢💔 My Daddy Passed Away September 18th 2018 Of A Heart Attack Alone In His House 😢💔 I Miss Them So Much This Pain Will Never Go Away I’ve Started Suffering Depression And Anxiety And Now Loosing My Daddy I Was Just Diagnosed With PTSD. I’m Dying More And More Everyday 😢💔 Trying To Find A Way To Be With Them Soon 😢💔

  3. A.... B....

  4. S.... L....

  5. m.... 1....

    I lost my dad when i was only 8 months old. in about a month i'll be 12. I know im young and i shouldnt feel the way i do. I should be Outside playing with other kids. But im not, I'm sitting at home crying. I never got to go to a father daughter dance. Its your dad thats supposed to teach you how to ride a bike, Right? Well My older cousin did. If my dad would have just sat in the frount seat that morning. He would be here. The sad thing is, I sometimes want to die, Just so i can be with him. But i Pretend im okay. I smile everyday, I act happy. Even though im not, I just stay strong for my mother. I really really Miss my dad, My mom still pays his phone bill. His phones put up in a room though. I used to know the number but now i dont, I wish i did. I remember, My mom would let me call it. I remember thinking he would come home.. It didnt make sense that he was dead, My mom said he was in heaven, so i thought he would come back..

  15. R.... H....

    I lost my dad back in 04. They say that times makes it easier but this year has been one of the hardest since his passing. I talk to him a lot more. And even though it's been 15 years since he died I find myself still trying to make him proud of me. One of the many things I never heard him say in the time I had with him. 😭😭😭😭

  16. E.... M....

    My dad is the greatest gift God gave me. He is the best dad in the whole world. Long live, long life daddy.

  21. z.... V....

    Honestly, I'm terrified. My dad has severe acute asthma and he was hospitalized a couple weeks ago. After his asthma attack, his immunity levels dropped down severely and in this moment, he's coughing so much and seems incredidibly sick. My mom was about to call 911 but he refused. I'm literally only fricken 12, about to turn 13 and I don't want to lose my dad to asthma. Although I know I might. I don't want to burden my friends with this and I don't really know who to talk to.

    I just wanted to say that this song i listen for my dad, in august he was on ventilator in ICU than in CCU as he had heart problem and afterwards he got kidneys, brain, lungs and blood problems. Currently he was in ICU due to stress and now he is home but the bad thing is that first he got two times dialysis but now he got one time in a week but still he is very much weak. he lost 15 kg and from 6 months hiccups are not stopping but then also i have learned that never lose hope but sometimes i lose. Everyone please pray for my dad he is very precious to me..

  35. c.... a....

    I miss my dad 💔. He didn't die but my parents divorced and he moved. Far far away..
    I get to see him still and I'm so so so lucky about that, but he can't come back and I wish he could. I love you dad, I always have, and I always will ❤

  36. D.... F....

    Daddy I miss you so much, I'd give anything if you was still here, you left this ol world to soon. I just wish this was a dream. I sit by my phone and wait for you to text or call me, I know your still here with me , i know your in heaven and watching over me, I need you daddy. I just wish I could see you and talk to you, I miss you so very much and they say that the pain gets easier but it hasn't, ever day has gotten worse every single minute I think of you, I'm just thankful that I got to spend the last 32 years with you, but it seems like I just had a very short time with you. I need u daddy I miss you and I wish you was still here with me, its spring time now and I know you'd be fishing and it's so hard because everytime I go by a river , a creek or a lake I can just see u sitting there on the bank and fishing daddy I miss you , i just wish this all was a dream. Everytime I get on here to listen to music I always run across a song that reminds me of you. RIP DADDY 6-6-59 TO 02-26-19 REST IN GODS HUNTING LAND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU FOREVER AND EVER .LOVE ALWAYS TO THE MOON AND BACK A MILLION TIMES. LOVE YOUR BABY GIRL

  55. M.... ....

    Lately I've been noticing
    I say the same things you like to say
    And I even find myself acting the very same way
    I use sarcasm when I speak to have a little fun
    And I crack a joke in the hope that you’ll have a good one
    When I look in the mirror
    You’re right there in my eyes
    Starin' back at me and I realize
    The older I get
    The more I can see
    How much you love my mother and my brother and me
    And you do the best that you can
    And I only hope when I have my own family
    That everyday I see
    A little more of my father in me
    There are times I think you are bein'
    Just a little bit hard on me
    But now I understand you are makin' me
    Become the girl you know that I can be
    In everything you ever do
    You always do with love
    And I'm proud today to say I'm your little one
    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 you love my mother and my brother and me
    And you do the best that you can
    And I only hope when I have my own family
    That everyday I see
    A little more of my father in me
    You’re 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 you sayin' "you'll be alright"
    Everything's gonna be alright"
    Yes it is
    The older I get
    The more I can see
    That you love my mother and my brother and me
    And you do the best that you can
    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

  56. K.... M....

  59. J.... P....

    I miss my dad❤️.

  60. c.... s....

    Am I the only person watching this that didn't love or like their father. Mine died 10-15-2017 I can smell him at times. I had his watch and wore it everyday and last month one of the kids at my school snapped it in half and broke it. He was an S of a B but my mother loved him.

  61. �.... �....

    My dad has 2 years left he's got stage 2 liver cancer and it kills me inside to know imma be the one burying him I'm literally all he's got in this life and are bond is the strongest it could ever be every moment is priceless and I wouldn't trade it for nothing I've made some of his biggest dreams come true and I'm so glad I get to do that it means so much to me that I see him smile I'm his only son none of his other children don't give a rats ass about him he was homeless and I bought him a house a car and paid all his bills off for 5 years and note I'm not rich or anything Im poor and I still made it possible

  62. S.... t....

    My dad is still with me but hes now 50 years old and 10 years hes 60 im so sad if he die😞😞

  63. S.... ....

    This is just like my life im becoming my dad and im happy about it

  64. A.... C....

    I lost my dad in 1995 when I was 6. He is still just as important to me now as he was back then. As I grow up and get older, all my family says is how I am just like my dad. I have my own family now, I think of him so much and hope that I can be half the man he was. I love you dad, until we meet again....

  65. R.... B....

    I didn’t know my dad well cause he died in the army when I was six months old and I know he’s always watching over me and trying to give me a better life and ever one I know that knew my dad always say I’m just like him short and fearless thanks for serving daddy I miss you

  66. V.... C....

    I lost my dad 7 years ago when I was 7. Now I am 14 years old and it still hurts so much and I still miss him. This song really hits home.

  67. N.... J....

    I love you and miss you dad. can't wait to see you in Heaven

  68. K.... B....

    I came very close to losing my dad last year, and again this year... He made it through a major surgery last year in October, but with the pain he has felt ever since, he wanted to end it... I almost lost him last week...

  69. P.... c....

    I really miss him already he is not dead but he is gone forever

  70. A.... M....

    This was the song i picked to play at my father's funeral. Love ya, father. Miss you.

  71. i.... a....

    :o I'm sending this to my dad because it's His birthday :') i cried

  72. K.... H....

    My Faddah in law,Angel you are very missed everyday! Pepeekeo,Hawaii isn't the same without you. We Love You. Continue to watch over us all.

  73. A.... T....

    These lyrics are amazing and universal and true. I lost my dad 12 years ago and this is how I reach to be. I'm not normally a country music fan, but this is one perfect example of how honest and unhidden truths can be in music. Amazing lyrically. Thanks

  74. G.... I....

    Mu dad is alive. He is best dad i ever have

  88. P.... F....

    I lost my dad only a couple weeks ago and this song makes me think of him

  89. C.... A....

    Enjoy your father while you can. The worst thing you can do, is take the ones you love for granted. For o ne day, they won't be there anymore, and you'll wish with every inch of your soul that you could just hear their voice, or their hand on your shoulder. Losing a father is tough, hell, losing anyone is tough. So please just love with everything you have, don't hold grudges, and tell your family you love them. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Keep your head up. And know you're not alone out there.

    C.... A....

    my dad smoks im worried if he will get cancer

    C.... A....

    Amen to that my friend! <3

    C.... A....

    Chris Allen I miss you Daddy!!!! I can't believe you've been w Jesus 6 months already.

    C.... A....

    Keep them treasured. The moment you loose them is the moment you wish you did more with them and showed them more of your heart

  90. F.... T....

    i'm 15 and my dad is a pilot, he is often away and i really miss him. I know it sounds silly but after all i would not have been the teenager that i am now without him. I Love you dad i i love all the things you have done for me<3 My dad forever<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
