A Man Like My Father

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there..especially mine!

I wrote this song a few years ago as a Birthday gift to my Dad..later, it was beautifully recorded by Universal/Decca's Three Graces.

Every Father's day I love to share it...Enjoy!

A MAN LIKE MY FATHER

VERSE 1:
HE’S MY SOLDIER OF STRENGTH
THE HERO OF MY HEART
HIS GENTLE GUIDANCE
IS LIKE A SHINING STAR
THIS PRECIOUS PROTECTER
IS GOD’S LIFE LONG FAVOR TO ME

VERSE 2:
HE’S MY SILENT SAVIOR
THAT NEVER SAYS TOO MUCH
BUT WHEN HE SPEAKS
IT’S PRICELESS WISDOM
A MAN OF DETERMINATION
WITH EYES THAT HELP TO INSPIRE

CHORUS:
MY FATHER’S ARMS ARE WHERE I RUN
WHEN THE WORLD IS COLD
MY FATHER’S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL
NO I’M NEVER ALONE
HE’S HAPPIEST WATCHING ME SHINE
I’M SO THANKFUL THAT HE’S MINE
YOU COULD SEARCH THE WHOLE WORLD OVER
AND NEVER FIND A MAN LIKE MY FATHER

VERSE 3:
A FEARLESS FIGHTER
WITH HELPING HANDS
I HEAR HIS ENCOURAGING VOICE
TELLING ME YES YOU CAN
MY LUCKY FORTUNE
THAT LOVES ME LIKE NOBODY ELSE

BRIDGE:
I COULD NEVER ASK FOR BETTER
AND I WOULD NEVER TRY
I STRIVE TO BE MY BEST
AND HE ÍS THE REASON WHY
