Lyrics
That I Could Call You ?Dad?
Maggie Vida, Dec./03
Verse 1:
A man of deep conviction, with love your driving force
Your wisdom was simplicity with contentment at its source
Your family was your treasure ? an endless stream of pride????
With loving friends abounding, and your ever-faithful bride? (to refrain)
Refrain :
I thank you for the man you were and the selfless love you?ve shared
In listing all your attributes, there?s none to be compared
And I celebrate the man you were, the love and life you?ve had?
But most of all I celebrate that I???? could call you ?Dad??
Verse 2:
Momentos of your craftsmanship reflect your gentle heart
With love of nature, God and home revealed in every part?
Each challenge faced with courage as your faith would lead the way??..
Your hearty laugh and whistle paved your choices through each day (ref.)
Bridge:
While reels of distant memories replay from end to start
Your spirit lives forever, imprinted on my heart?. (to final refrain)
Add toFinal Refrain:
But most of all ?. oh, most of all?. but most of all I celebrate
That I ?????. could call you ??.??. ?Dad???...
