Memberverse 1
I've come to talk to you first time in all these years
I'm standing here beside your grave my eyes filled with tears
we never knew each other and it makes me sad
when I remember all ,those times we never had
did'nt play football go walking in in the park
didn't hold me if I was frightend of the dark
I started school you wern't there you didn't hold my hand
you didn't give me answers when I couldn't understand
Chorus
Your my hero I've tried to be just like you
the way I walk the way I talk in everything I do
I never tire of hearing stories of the things you've done
dad,I wish I could tell you I'm proud to be your son
verse 2
I never heard you say don't come home late tonight
telling me to act my age if I'd been in a fight
wash your hands clean your shoes its time for bed
these and all the many things I wish you could have said
I wonder how I might have turned out to be
if you had been there through the years standing next to me
you might have said son take your time
we do this together things will turn out fine
Chorus
Your my hero I've tried to be just like you
the way I walk the way I talk in everything I do
I never tire of hearing stories of the things you've done
dad,I wish I could tell you I'm proud to be your son
verse 3
I have children of my own and I think I know
how you must have felt when you had to go
when i see them playing or I sit them on my knee
I try and give them all the love you should have given me
I hope that when the time comes I must leave them on thier own
it won't be like us dad I would have seen how they've grown
perhaps when they think about me every now and then
they'll smile and just like me they'll say these words again
Chorus
Your my hero I've tried to be just like you
the way I walk the way I talk in everything I do
I never tire of hearing stories of the things you've done
dad,I wish I could tell you I'm proud to be your son
