Trepak

Willamette Oh Willamette!

God Bless My Dad 

My father’s face stares back at me
In the mirror as I shave
I’m looking more like him
With every passing day

I hear his words so clearly now
They’re ringing in my ears
Today turns into yesterday 
I can’t hold back the tears 

I thought I knew it all
I didn't have a clue
I wasn’t ready 
To listen to what he knew 
But I couldn't have asked for more
Cause he gave all he had
As I look back I pray
God bless my Dad 

He taught me how to drive, helped me 
pay for my first car 
Told me I’d survive all of those
Teenage broken hearts

Watching him with Mom, showed me
How to treat a lady
Through any kind of trouble
He did his best to save me 

I thought I knew it all
I didn't have a clue
I wasn’t ready 
To listen to what he knew 
But I couldn't have asked for more
Cause he gave all he had
As I look back I pray
God bless my Dad 

Bridge
I’m doing my best 
To pass my father’s words along
To my little boy
Our love will live on

He wasn’t perfect 
But he gave it all he had
As I look back today
God bless my Dad 

Outro
As I look back I pray
God bless my Dad
