  • Oh papa sit down, and hear my song
    Oh and if you feel like it then please sing along
    No nothing that I wanna say, I haven't said before
    But to use your words, you can never be to sure
    See, even though
    I don't always show, I'm glad that you're along
    Said I'm glad that your're around

    Oh sonny, so strange, to hear and see
    That someone so different is, a soul like me
    You may have gone right, where I would have gone left
    But son, that's alright, I will always have your back
    See even though, I don't always show
    I'm proud of you, my son

    Old days, and all of the new wanting to be like you

    Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
    I see myself
    I'm so proud of you
    For you help make me what I am
    A better man
    I'm just so proud of you

    Oh dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be
    Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
    Dane: son, life is just too short, for us to never be in touch
    That's why I want to tell you that I love you very much
    Oh even though, I don't always show
    You know
    Oh and I want you to know that

    Every time I look at you (oh yeah)
    I see myself
    I'm so proud of you
    For you help make me what I am
    A better man
    I'm just so proud of you

    I'm here and I'll be if I can
    A father and a friend

    Every time I look at you

    Every time I look at you (what you see?)
    I see myself (oh yeah)
    And I'm so proud of you
    For you help make me what I am
    Son and a friend
    I'm just so proud of you

    You know that one day too
    I'll be walking in your shoes
    Yeah and I know that you'll do fine
    'Cause you're a son of mine
    Oh hey papa tell me what you've learned
    So that I don't get my fingers burned
    Son you'll see that as you go
    You'll make mistakes of your own
    But that's okay man
    See you live and you learn
    You live and you learn Writer/s: ALAIN CLARK
