Ash Morse - Hey Dad Lyrics

As his light began to leave
My old man passed the torch to me
And I was standing breathless
How is one supposed to feel?
Everything so surreal
The whole world, weightless
No, please don't say that
I'm remembering the way you used to laugh
No, please don't say that
I'm remembering how I used to say...
Hey Dad, would you help me tie my shoes?
Would you help me fix my tie?
Teach me how to drive?
Hey Dad, if I mess things up again
If I'm terrified to try
If I'm terrified of life
Hey Dad, would you sit with me a while
While I am not quite ready to say good night?
There's a hole to fill
There's a vacant scene
Those are giant shoes
And you were always there for me
You were there for everybody
Did things only super man could do
And hey Dad, you helped me tie my shoes
You helped me fix my tie
And taught me how to drive
Hey Dad, when I messed things up again
I was terrified to try
I was terrified of life
Hey Dad, you sat with me a while
While I wasn't ready to say good night
And all I am
And all I'll be is 'cause you taught me
All I am
And all I'll be is 'cause you taught me how
To tie my shoes
To fix my tie
How to drive
To love like you
How to try
Even if I'm terrified
And hey Dad
It's okay if you can't stay this time
I think I'm ready to say goodnight
I think I'm ready to say goodnight
Though not quite ready to say goodbye
As his light began to leave
My father passed his torch to me
And I was standing breathless...
