Lyrics

Song and lyrics by Richard Lehmann (ASCAP)

Your angel’s wings made our beagle wale
Santa socks and a bright white veil
Feelings hurt and fighting tears
These were the least of all our fears
Growing right and growing strong
You always knew what’s right from wrong
My Father’s Day song

Verse:

Summer road trips and beach house sand
Freckled face and sticky hands
You let me know when I messed up
You set me straight and pumped me up
In every picture in a discount frame
Our lives will never ever be the same
My father’s day song.

Refrain (1):

My life rolls on with dreams of you
The only way I’ve made it through
If not at once, if only awhile
I hear your voice, I see your smile

Verse:

The plans we made the dreams we formed
Knee high socks and plaid uniforms
Heroes turn and face the light
Cowards run and hide out of sight
In the swarm where old girlfriends fly
They flew away, they turned their eye
My father’s day song

Refrain (2):

My anger left me sunset red
You forgave when those young birds fled
Now soaring high across the sky
To you I’ll turn and pray this night

Verse:

Take me home now it’s Father’s Day
From friends and family I’ll hide away
In a room where no one goes
A darkened space with my shadows
There’s a wave crashing over me
It’s sink or swim I’m on my knees
Where’d I go wrong?

Refrain(3):

And so I sit and write this song
However weak however strong
Words and music together pale
In you my love will never fail
‘Cause that’s how it’s always been.
