A son rarely tells his Father
How he really feels
A handshake or a pat on the back
Is all that he reveals
Id like to right that wrong
Here in this little song.
Thank you for shaping my life
Thank you for teaching me all you can
You are no ordinary man, Oh no, no
You make me everything I am
Thank you for taking the time
Thank you for showing me the way
And thank you for being there
When I need you
Thank you for every single day
Now Ive been blessed with a son of my own
Got my own bedtime stories to tell
If I can raise him half as well
As you raised me
Guess Ill be doing pretty well.
Thank you for your guiding hand
Thank you for making my dreams come true
Youre an extraordinary man
And I hope youre as proud of me
As I am proud of you
Thank you for giving me life
Thank you for teaching me good from bad
I guess Im only really trying to say
Thank you for being my Dad
Even though the years drift away
I never took the time just to say
I love you and I always have
And thank you for being my Dad
Thank you for being my Dad
