    A song for my dad
    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.
