Lyrics
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
Fran Powers - BMI Tom McBryde - ASCAP
Verse 1:
Grandma says you have my eyes,
You look exactly like me.
Grandpa says you?ll have common sense,
It runs in the family.
I wonder when you?re all grown up,
What kind of man will you be?
Now you?re small, Will you grow tall?
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
Vearse 2:
Every day, I watch you grow
So independently.
It?s fun to watch as you try out
Your new personality.
Tomorrow is your very first day in school
I wonder what you will be.
A doctor, well, it?s too soon to tell.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
Chorus:
Lord, help me to be just like you
Because I have a son who?s very special, too.
He says he wants to be just like me
So Lord, help me to be just like you.
Verse 3:
Here I sit in my rocking chair,
The years have swiftly flown.
You fell in love and married
You have children of your own.
If I could leave you with just one thought
Before my time is done
Bring your children up to be
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
