Story Behind The Song

My dads fiftieth birthday was coming up and I hadn't seen him in while. I started thinking about who I was and what I had done with my life and how much differntly I would have turned out if I wouldn't have had such a great dad. Unfortunately I have an equaly awsome mother who has yet to recieve a tune. And as great as she is she is also a master of guilt so I'm gonna have to cut this story short so I can go finnish her song.

Song Description

This song was a fiftieth brithday girt to my father.

Lyrics

Days drift by and I don't know where I'll be come tomorrow
but tonight I'm here with you
'cause you taught me how to run the race
you've shown me the world is a bigger place than just me and you
So tonight I am here for you, here for you
Born into this world unknown you built for me a loving home
you said thats right it's here for you
I tied my shoe and climbed a tree I fell real hard and skinned my knee
you said don't cry my son
Well don't you know that I am here for you
no mater what you do, I am here for you
whether skies are grey or brilliant blue
for every new tomorrow, through happiness and sorrow
I am here for you
I haven't been the perfect son,
well I've made mistakes and I've come undone
but I wish that I could show you how
you've made me strong and you've made me proud
Your life was never just your own you worked your fingers to the bone
now it's time I did it for you
so relax a while I'll give to you any thing you want me to
I'll bring you wine to fill your cup and we can talk until the sun comes up
so lets raise a glass and make a toast to a first born son who has been a ghost and a father whose always been there for me
so I can tell you that
I am here for you
no mater what you do I am here for you
whether skies are grey or brilliant blue
for every new tomorrow
through happiness and sorrow
I am here for you
no mater what you do
I am here for you
whether skies are grey or briliant blue
for every new tomorrow
through happiness and sorrow
I am here for you.
