I feel like my father
Putting on shaving cream. Saying goodbye to dreams
Just letting them pass
I feel like my father
He's not who I planned to be, but here looking back at me
Is his face in the glass
And if I could only let him know the way I feel
Then I could wash away this wound and let it heal
I feel like my father
Watching my child grow. Not wanting to let him go
He's out of my hands
I feel like my father
Straightening up my tie. Finding it hard to cry
I know he'd understand
And if he could see me now, I'm sure that he'd agree
That I've become the man he wanted me to be
I feel like my father
Zippering up your gown. Living here in this town
The way that he did
I feel like my father
Watching my hair turn grey. Saying the things he'd say
When I was a kid
And if he could only see my child as he plays
He'd be the first to know that someday that boy will say
I feel like my
I feel like my father
I feel like my father
