After posting my favourite lyrics about mothers last month, in celebration of Father's Day, here are my favourite lyrics about fathers and being a father.
That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out of my bed
To your bed I crept
Touched your head gently
Felt my heart melt
Cause I knew I loved you
more than life itself
(Just the Two of Us by Will Smith)
this was also made into a great kids book
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.
(Butterfly kisses by Bob Carlisle)
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
(My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton)
You've got my eyes
We can't see
what you'll be
you can't disguise
Either way I will pray
you will be wise
pretty soon you will see
Tears in my eyes
(My Eyes by Travis)
written by Fran Healey the day after he found out he would become a father
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
(Wires by Athlete)
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy
(Beautiful Boy by John Lennon)
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
(Father and Daughter by Paul Simon)
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
(Daughters by John Mayer)
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
(Song for Dad by Keith Urban)
Father I miss you so
Father why d'you have to go
So far away where I can't go
Somewhere, some place, but where I don't know
(Father by Jacques Villeneuve)
Here is one that I have always loved, and for me is a wish for our children whether we are the mother or the father:
ReplyDeleteMay the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
- Rod Stewart
Great one...thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThis one hits home for me...
ReplyDeleteLove lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
