  • Last night we brought the children by to visit their grandpa
    And it's plain to see they're truly part of him
    While we were there their grandma took out some old photographs
    Man he sure looked a lot like me back then.

    I'm seein' my father in me, I guess that's how it's meant to be
    And I find I'm more and more like him each day
    I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks
    I'm starin' to see my father in me.

    And today I took my wife for a walk down that old dirt road
    Where my daddy took my mom so many times
    And we found the time to mention things we never had before
    And we shared some thoughts about the family life.

    Yeah, I'm seein' my father in me, I guess that's how it's meant to be
    And I find I'm more and more like him each day
    I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks
    I'm starin' to see my father in me.

    And now looking back I can recall the times we disagreed
    When I could not take gold of his old fashioned ways
    And the more I tried to prove him wrong the more I proved him right
    Now I know why he still stood by me when I went through that stage.

    I'm seein' my father in me, I guess that's how it's meant to be
    And I find I'm more and more like him each day
    I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks
    I'm starin' to see my father in me.

    And I'm happy to see my father in me... Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
