Father’s
Day, 2019, or, really, any year.
A father
and a son. It’s complicated.
What have you done to the
mirror?
What have you done to the floor?
Can't I go nowhere without you?
Can't I leave you alone any more?
What have you done to the floor?
Can't I go nowhere without you?
Can't I leave you alone any more?
I know you don't think
much of me
But someday you'll understand
Wait'll you learn how to talk baby
I'll show you how smart I am
But someday you'll understand
Wait'll you learn how to talk baby
I'll show you how smart I am
If
you would only listen/Why listen to someone who doesn’t want to understand?
A quitter never wins
A winner never quits
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
A winner never quits
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
Son, listen
to me/Okay, I’m watching.
Maybe you don't know how
to walk baby
Maybe you can't talk none either
Maybe you never will, baby
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
Maybe you can't talk none either
Maybe you never will, baby
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I
hear you, Dad, and I know. I’ve always known. I have never not known.
