My dad has given me something that I now pass along to my son. The cycle of life gets into your soul.

Song Description

My father is a lot like me and life is all about experiences and molding personalities. We get what we give.

Lyrics

VERSE# 1:
He is a man
He's a simple man
Simple in his steadfast ways steadfast ways
He likes to laugh
Likes to make me laugh
Can't forget his smiling face smiling face
We walked alone together on an unpaved road
I pulled a wagon behind me a tree's a heavy load
CHORUS:
I said Dad we were pretty lucky today weren't we Dad
We had fun finding the perfect tree for us to plant
Dad maybe tomorrow we could do that again
He said we will but I don't know when
VERSE# 2:
Time did slip by
You know it seems to fly
Victims of circumstance never got the chance
But that's okay
Won't forget that day
It's a part of who I am thanks to him
I have a son of my own now who's a lot like me
He makes our time together worth remembering
CHORUS:
He says Dad we were pretty lucky today weren't we Dad
We had fun one of the best days I think we ever had
Dad maybe tomorrow we could do that again
I say we will but I don't know when
BRIDGE:
It touches my heart it moves my soul because I realize
I'm seeing me when I look at him through a father's eyes
And when I can I'll take the time to give my dad a call
He sets me straight 'bout how it was when I was small
CHORUS:
I say Dad we were pretty lucky that day weren't we Dad
We had fun finding the perfect tree for us to plant
Dad maybe another day we could do that again
He says we will but I don't know when
