Lately I've been noticing
  I say the same things he used to say
  And I even find myself acting the very same way
  I tap my fingers on the table
  To the rhythm in my soul
  And I jingle the car keys
  When I'm ready to go
  When I look in the mirror
  He's right there in my eyes
  Starin' back at me and I realize
    The older I get
  The more I can see
  How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
  And he did the best that he could
  And I only hope when I have my own family
  That everyday I see
  A little more of my father in me
    There were times I thought he was bein'
  Just a little bit hard on me
  But now I understand he was makin' me
  Become the man he knew that I could be
  In everything he ever did
  He always did with love
  And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
  When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
  I just smile and say you already have
    The older I get
  The more I can see
  How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
  And he did the best that he could
  And I only hope when I have my own family
  That everyday I see
  A little more of my father in me
    He's in my eyes
  My heart, my soul
  My hands, my pride
  And when I feel alone
    And I think I can't go on
  I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
  Everything's gonna be alright"
  Yes it is
    The older I get
  The more I can see
  That he loved my mother and my brother and me
  And he did the best that he could
  And I only hope when I have my own family
  That everyday I see
  Oh I hope I see
  I hope everyday I see
  A little more of my father in me
    A little more of my father in me
  I hope everyday I see in me
  In me
  In me
  I hope everyday I see
    A little more of my father in me
