That's My Dad

I woke up crying one dark night.

When I was a little boy..

I dreamt my daddy had passed away

Daddy came and talked to me till I felled asleep

He covered me up and stayed with me.

When I woke up there he was

I don't think he slept at all

That's my dad.

That's what he does.

He was always a family man

Took us kids camping and fishing.

When ever he could

That's my dad

Yeah that's my Dad.

When I was a teenager

We didn't see eye to eye.

But Dad always believed in me.

He was right and I was so dang wrong...

He would pray for me all night long.

When I would awake there he was

I don't think he slept a wink

That's my dad.

That's what he does.

He was always a family man

Took us kids camping and fishing.

When ever he could

That's my dad

Yeah that's my Dad.

I love him even then

Now I'm in my 60s..

Dads now in his eightys...

Dad still prays for me all the time

His children means more to him than life.

When I visit him he still cares.

Looks like he never slept.

That's my dad.

That's what he does.

He was always a family man

Took us kids camping and fishing.

When ever he could

That's my dad

Yeah that's my Dad.

And I love him so.
