Please help me.. I really need help.. I want to dedicate a song for my dad.. im here in the philippines and he's in the US.. im planning the "SONG FOR MY DAD" by Keith Urban.here's the lyrics..



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 getThe 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 going to be all right"
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



.."I hope everyday I see a little more of my father in me".. what does it mean? Does this song means that my father is dead? Any more song suggestions? Please help me.. thanks..

The only thing that makes it look like the father could be dead is the past tense... like looked, used to say,

But basically the song is saying how the son is proud to be coming more and more like his father through the years.

Hi, reyzorback!

If you would actually like to write a song to your dad using your own lyrics from your own heart, I can show you how to put them to music. You would need to put it in the Writing forum area though.

Thanks!

hey reyzorback,

i think its only saying "my dad is dead" if the lyrics said: he was, he said, and more past tense verbs. to me the song says: everyday i look more and more like my father who is very special and im proud to be like him.
