Reaching Every Mountain - Dad Lyrics

Why can't things be simple?
Why must we be so close but so far away
It doesn't matter if its my fault or yours
But ill write a damn good song to show you
That you're my world

So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back

I think its time we both try harder
I think its time I tell you how my life is going
Because you've given me your humor and your eyes
You taught me what its like to be so wise

So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back

If I could tell you one thing
I'd thank you for everything you've done
You've given so much to me
From the tangibles to the intangibles
If I could give you one thing
It'd be the love you've given me
So I want to thank you one last time
For everything

So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back
