My Father

Know you were the angel Who played my lullabies As I drifted off to sleep In dreams of a child Then I'd gently waken To your softest words And start the day filled with The music I'd heard Oh my Father Your blood in my veins Oh my Father You showed me the way To love and learn and be concerned And never give up faith Now there comes a time When one decides The path he must take And it isn't always easy When the ways separate I couldn't bear your leaving And it hurt to see you sad But I know you'll always love me Cause you'll always be my dad Oh my Father Your blood in my veins Oh my Father You showed me the way To love and learn and be concerned And never give up faith Now we sit and read together Just breathing the same air Now and then you'll read aloud A part you want to share Or maybe we'll be walking You always lead the way Not worried if I'm keeping up You know I'll find my way Oh my Father Your blood in my veins Oh my Father You showed me the way To love and learn and be concerned And never give up faith
