Lyrics:

Oh papa sit down, and hear my song
Oh and if you feel like it then please sing along
No nothing that I wanna say, I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be to sure
See, even though
I don't always show, I'm glad that you're along
Said I'm glad that your're around

Oh sonny, so strange, to hear and see
That someone so different is, a soul like me
You may have gone right, where I would have gone left
But son, that's alright, I will always have your back
See even though, I don't always show
I'm proud of you, my son

Old days, and all of the new wanting to be like you

Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
I see myself
I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
A better man
I'm just so proud of you

Oh dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be
Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
Dane: son, life is just too short, for us to never be in touch
That's why I want to tell you that I love you very much
Oh even though, I don't always show
You know
Oh and I want you to know that

Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
I see myself
I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
A better man
I'm just so proud of you

I'm here and I'll be if I can
A father and a friend

Every time I look at you

Every time I look at you (what you see?)
I see myself (oh yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
Son and a friend
I'm just so proud of you

You know that one day too
I'll be walking in your shoes
Yeah and I know that you'll do fine
'Cause you're a son of mine
Oh hey papa tell me what you've learned
So that I don't get my fingers burned
Son you'll see that as you go
You'll make mistakes of your own
But that's okay man
