Seein' My Father in Me Songtext
von Paul Overstreet

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 startin′ 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 startin′ to see
My father in me
And now lookin′ back
I can recall
The times we disagreed
When I could not take hold
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 startin' to see
My father in me
And I'm happy to see
My father in me
