Leon Russell – My Father's Shoes lyrics
What can I say to this child of my own
When he looks up to me for answers?
He's got trust in his eyes and such innocent ways.
What are the words I can say?
Can I tell him of my life?
And can it be used for his own life's goal, an example
To follow and finally remember some day?
What are the words I can say?
I could say "I was once wondering just like you,
And I understand the things you're feeling."
But gray hair and lines on my face just might say
"The old man is always talking that way."
And now I think of my daddy, he wore this kind of shoes.
And after all this time, I think I know him.
I'd like to say I love him, but the time has passed away.
What are the words I can say?
What are the words I can say?
When he looks up to me for answers?
He's got trust in his eyes and such innocent ways.
What are the words I can say?
Can I tell him of my life?
And can it be used for his own life's goal, an example
To follow and finally remember some day?
What are the words I can say?
I could say "I was once wondering just like you,
And I understand the things you're feeling."
But gray hair and lines on my face just might say
"The old man is always talking that way."
And now I think of my daddy, he wore this kind of shoes.
And after all this time, I think I know him.
I'd like to say I love him, but the time has passed away.
What are the words I can say?
What are the words I can say?
