"Proud To Call You Dad" lyrics
(feat. Masetti & KC Makes Music)
I'm scared to death of losing you
We're running out of time
I don't know what I'm supposed to do without you in my life
You're getting old and walking slow
Guess time's not on our side
So thank you for the love you gave and all you sacrificed
I'm a better man because of you and lessons that you taught
My first words, my first steps
You taught me how to walk
You showed me how to ride a bike, and I rode it 'round the block
But every time that I would fall, you'd help me get back up
When you pass, all I ask is that you don't forget
The man you made and parts you played that led to my success
Rest assured that I'm okay, and everything's alright
You've always been my hero, dad, I love you more than life
I try to be strong 'cause now I know
That the memories will last
Here on this long and winding road
I've always been proud to call you dad
We moved 3,000 miles from you to California when I was five
I don't blame mom for moving
Her parents lived there
She wanted to survive
You dropped us off
I can't imagine how it hurt to say goodbye
I got two babies now, dad
The thought alone just tears me up inside
Makes you the strongest man I know
Called every Sunday to say hello
Sent every birthday and every Christmas gift
You listened to us grow
And when you flew us home on summer breaks, you showed us how to live
We do amusement parks and camping, hit the beach on family trips
I know you couldn't afford that
But you set a course that you never let down your only son
When I saw you on stage, what you did with the music
Dad, you walked so I could run
I know that time is against us, and I'm always busy
Whenever you need me, I'll come through
And the cat in the cradle, and the silver spoon
I know you get that, that I love you
I try to be strong 'cause now I know
That the memories will last
Here on this long and winding road
I've always been proud to call you dad
I try to be strong 'cause now I know
That the memories will last
Here on this long and winding road
I've always been proud to call you dad
When you pass, all I ask is that you don't forget
The man you made and parts you played that led to my success
Rest assured that I'm okay, and everything's alright
You've always been my hero, dad, I love you more than life
We're running out of time
I don't know what I'm supposed to do without you in my life
You're getting old and walking slow
Guess time's not on our side
So thank you for the love you gave and all you sacrificed
I'm a better man because of you and lessons that you taught
My first words, my first steps
You taught me how to walk
You showed me how to ride a bike, and I rode it 'round the block
But every time that I would fall, you'd help me get back up
When you pass, all I ask is that you don't forget
The man you made and parts you played that led to my success
Rest assured that I'm okay, and everything's alright
You've always been my hero, dad, I love you more than life
I try to be strong 'cause now I know
That the memories will last
Here on this long and winding road
I've always been proud to call you dad
We moved 3,000 miles from you to California when I was five
