Lyrics
D A D
Words/music Bob Vega
Sitting here just watching you reaching for my son
Your hand now so feeble but yet so strong
Thinking of the times you spent working day and night
Working all those hours to feed your family
I just want to thank you DAD for being there for me
For giving to me in my life
The love that I have for my own family
Hoping one day they?ll say of me
You are my hero, the one I want to be
Hoping one day they will say of me
Daddy look at grandpa he loves you and me
He makes me laughs and makes me smile when I scraped my knee
He tells me when I grow up he wants me to be
Just like your Daddy, who is just like me
I just want to thank you DAD for being there for me
For giving to me in my life
The love that I have for my own family
Hoping one day they?ll say of me
You are my hero, the one I want to be
Hoping one day they will say of me
I love you DAD
