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 And he sure looked a lot like me back then
I'm seeing 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 starting 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 mama 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 seeing 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 starting to see my father in me
And now, looking back, I can recall the times we disagreed When I could not take hold 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 seeing 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 starting to see my father in me And I'm happy to see my father in me
