Once in a life there comes a man like you

And you bear a son so much like yourself

And it's hard to believe that he's a grown man

But pop I understand



Once every night I thank my lucky stars

You've given me some guiding light

But there comes a time when a father and a son

Can no longer be as one



It took me so long to recover

From the pain of having denied the love I once relied upon

It takes more than time to discover

That for both the young and old

The truth is sometimes cold but right



This is my life

And I've got to hold my own

Even if it means hurting us both

And the wrongs become right when

We stop and wonder how

Look at us

We're better friends now
