Like a True Father

When you're seeking my advice
I see innocence in childhood eyes
When I see your asking face
I remember my own childhood days

I was six years old, out in the cold
and frightened of what would tomorrow hold
I tried to look ahead
Wondering how my future would unfold
Should never fear cold and pain,
Always find a shelter from the pouring rain

As I watch you as you play
I see your joy and know my love's always
When you come hug me good night
Feel like a father and it feels so right

I was six years old, out in the cold
and frightened of what would tomorrow hold
I tried to look ahead
Wondering how my future would unfold
Should never fear cold and pain
Always find a shelter from the pouring rain
