MY FATHER'S LOVE (c) 1994 Monica E. Gómez



Verse 1:  This old heart goes on beating
like a drum whispering rhythm in my ear
I hear your voice repeating
all the words a child needs to hear.

Verse 2:  These old eyes can still see you
looking back at me through the years
yours are blue, filled with laughter
though I know I never saw the tears.

Refrain:  You are a lion, you are a lamb
a little boy, a gentle man.
Of all the love I’ve ever known
my father’s love stands alone.

Verse 3:  These old hands can still touch you
through the glass on the picture by my bed
there we stand in the backyard
sun in your eyes and your hand upon my head.

Verse 4:  This old soul wants to thank yours
for planting seeds of wisdom in my dreams
as I’ve grown more and more like you
I like you more and more it seems. 
Refrain
