Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
During violin solo)
Further Intro Em C (repeat 3 more times)
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
Staring back at me, and I realise
Chorus
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 every day I see
A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was being just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was making me become the man he knew that I could be
And every-thing he ever did he always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When some-body says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say, you already have
Chorus
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 every day 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 saying, Son you'll be all riii.......ght
Everything is gonna be all right, yes it is
The older I get, the more I can see
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
Every day I see, oh I hope I see
I hope every day I see,
A little more of my father in me
Em C for the rest until end
A little more of my father in me
I hope every day I see in me
In me, in me
I hope every day I see
A little more of my father in me
