When I was a young boy
You gave me the strength
To climb up the ladder of life
You made me feel strong
Gave me confidence to
Perform just as you would have liked
You loved me I know
Unbelievably so
And made me feel safe & secure
You're my God your my king
My captain my hero
My heart & my soul
And my very best friend
Your my dad your my father
The old man my pa
And I'll try every day just to be
A little like you
I still see your face, though your voice is erased
I look for your way in my day
I've known for a while that my kids have your smile
And that helps your memory stay
But I'll never let them ever forget
That your part of there family too
You're my God your my king
The captain my hero
My heart & my soul
And my very best friend
Your my dad your my father
The old man my pa
And I'll try every day just to be
A little like you
