Leon Russell - My Father's Shoes Lyrics
What can I say to this child of my ownWhen 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 exampleTo 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?
