The significant difference between being just a "father" and a real "dad"

Lyrics

SO MANY FATHERS
(BUT NOT ENOUGH DADS)
By Sandy Sherman & Bill Myers

I had a friend whose father
Was hardly ever home
He looked at his kid one day and said
"My God, how much you've grown!"
It's strange how they're like strangers
Who never really touch
A man can be a father but
Today that's not enough

CHORUS:
'Cause there's so many fathers---but not enough dads
So many who don't bother- to give ev'rything they have
And there's too many children who go to sleep sad
There's so many fathers---but not enough dads

You taught me words of wisdom
And what words can never say
You were there to teach me how to walk
And when to walk away
I'm the seed you've planted
And I hope someday you'll see
That the apple doesn't fall too far
From the fam'ly tree

CHORUS:

Bridge:
You must have learned it from your dad
Your very special knack
Giving of yourself,
Expecting nothing back....

CHORUS:
