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
