Working hard, you seemed too busy to look after me When work was done, I found your smiling face and open arms I was proud, so proud of you when you gently played guitar Then you made our flowers bloom and neatly parked the car How you used to tell me "Don't give up what you believe in Know your faith will always see you through" Oh Dad, how I remember All the love you gave to me I've come a long long way from home But you'll stay in my heart. Season passed, and my aspirations all came from you Years went by, and left you with grey hair before I knew Now I've had a family and children of my own old enough to know that life is not an easy game. When the times get rough and I feel weary I remember you would say "You'll make your dreams come true!" Oh Dad, I'll always cherish everything you gave to me I've come a long long way from home But you'll stay in my heart. Oh Dad, I know you understand How much you mean to me You give me strength You are my friend I love you, Oh, my Dad!!
