Lyrics

IF HE WERE MY DAD
Words & Music Lee Kweller &
Terry Bell

I walked into a diner
On a cold and rainy night
Saw a man at the counter
In the faded yellow light

I know this sounds crazy
But he looked just like my dad
And as tears began to fill my eyes
This thought went through my
head

IF HE WERE MY DAD ... so much
I'd say
I never got the chance before he
went away
He believed in me
when things got bad
And I'd tell him I loved him...
IF HE WERE MY DAD

I used to laugh at his advice
Too young to understand
But I sure can use his wisdom
now
When the world gets out of hand

His fists woulld shake in anger
When I did something wrong
Though he never showed
affection
It was in him all along
{CHORUS}

If my dad could hear me now
And I believe somehow he can
It's because of him that I finally
know
What it takes to be a man
{CHORUS}
