My Father's Shoes

What can I say to this child of my own
When he looks up to me for the answers?
He's got trust in his eyes and such innocent ways.
What all the words I can say?

Can I tell him of my life
And can it be used for his own life's goal
And example to follow
and finally remember someday?
What all the words I can say?

I could say I once
was a boy just like you
And I understand, the things you're feeling.
The grey hair and lines on my face just might say
The old man is always acting that way.

And now I think of my daddy
He wore these 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 all the words I can say
What all the words I can say
