Seein' My Father In Me

Seein' My Father In Me - Paul Overstreet

Last night we brought the children by to visit their grandpa

And it's plain to see they're truly part of him

While we were there their grandma

Took out some old photographs

Man he sure looked a lot like me back then

I'm seein' my father in me I guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks

I'm starin' to see my father in me

And today I took my wife for a walk down that old dirt road

Where my daddy took my mom so many times

And we found the time to mention things we never had before

And we shared some thoughts about the family life

Yeah I'm seein' my father in me

I guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks

I'm starin' to see my father in me

And now looking back I can recall the times we disagreed

When I could not take gold of his old fashioned ways

And the more I tried to prove him

Wrong the more I proved him right

Now I know why he still stood by me

When I went through that stage

I'm seein' my father in me I guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks

I'm starin' to see my father in me

And I'm happy to see my father in me
