From the time I was a young boy, I always liked my dad.
He taught me how to work and play ball.
And with dad coaching the team, Our championship team beat them all.
When I wasn't at a baseball game with dad, We were working together at the job site.
Dad you're alright! You not only won my heart, But you've got the respect of my friends too.
And now we've got to wait To get to heaven To see you But as for me, While I'm here on earth, I am going to keep you within my heart And from that which you have taught me I won't depart.
Your spirit and strength are within me So I go forth in victory To be all that you would want me To grow up and be To make the world a better place Until I see your face.
When I get promoted To be up there with you We are going to have A heartfelt embrace.
Until then however I will walk in the divine grace By which you ran your earthly race.
My dreams wholeheartedly I will chase.
The love you so generously gave to me I will give to others Beginning with my family, sister and brothers Just look down from above dad You will surely see Everywhere I go I will bring Love, life and liberty.
Because in you dad I have touched and experienced Love unto eternity.
