Hill Dan - Memories Lyrics

Memories of when i was a little boy four years old

Waiting for my daddy to come home

And now i look into the eyes of my own son

Wondering what he's thinking of

Waiting at the window when i come home.

Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.

He reaches out his tiny hand;

I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.

Memories of my mom cryin' my daddy gone for weeks at a time

Not knowing how to comfort her

Facin' my pillow pretendin' not to hear.

Now i write this letter to my little boy.

I'm far away not knowing really what to say

Except "i'm sorry oh so sorry."

I don't want to make these same

Mistakes my daddy made with me.

Still his voice rolls off my tongue

When i say "boy protect your mom."

Memories of my wife cryin' on the phone

Wonderin' when i'm coming home.

My voice sounds detached and cold

Reminds me of someone that i knew;

He had a funny attitude

When i needed him to be

All the things only a daddy could be to me.

And i don't want to make the same

Mistakes my daddy made with me.

Still his voice rolls off my tongue

When i say "not now i'm busy son."

Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son

Overwhelmed by so much love

Tryin' to explain how a man can cry

Yet still be happy

Thinking of all the dumb mistakes i've made.

Now i understand my father's pain;

He did the best with what he knew.

I love you daddy.

I watched my son fall asleep

And wonder what he'll think of me

When years from now he sees his son

Reachin' out his tiny hands for love.
