“MY FATHER’S SONG” Words & Music by Michael E. Empey ©Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved (VERSE) Hello dad I just decided to call It’s been such a long, long time I’ve been thinking about you most of the day and I’ve got to say what’s on my mind But with you out in Texas and me in LA there’s so many things that I’d like to say But there’s just no time and I can’t tie up the line Well it really wasn’t very long ago, we just didn’t seem to get along And every time you would speak to me it was something I was doing wrong But now I’m a man and I understand the things you used to say it was for my good , I just never understood, so (CHORUS) Love me with all of your heart and soul like only a father can do And I’ll love you with all of my heart and soul like only a son can too We’ve both paid the price for being so right, we let all those years pass us by But I’ve learned in my life that I’m not always right and love is a compromise (VERSE) I couldn’t relate to the time or place or the way that you were raised And sometimes I’d take the long way around but I had to do things my way Then you’d disagree and we’d get in a fight and neither of us would sleep that night But that’s the way it was in those days, so (CHORUS) (BRIDGE) Well do you remember that special day I sat you down and then I said That I’d come half-way to see your point of view And when I saw tears in your eyes I knew in a moment it would be alright That you’d try to understand a little too Sometimes tryings hard to do, so (CHORUS)
