THE MAN I WANT TO BE 26/07/2017

AT SIX YEARS OLD HE WAS BY MYSIDE
HOLDING ME CLOSE WHILE I RODE THAT BIKE
SAYING C'MON YOU CAN DO IT SON
HE LET GO AND I WAS GONE
AT TWELVE YEARS OLD I SAW HIM CRY
THAT WAS THE DAY HIS MAMA DIED
WE HELD HANDS AND SAID A PRAYER
LET THE GOOD LORD LOOK AFTER HER

BUT TIME IT PASSES
LIKE A LEAF BLOWN IN THE WIND
AND ALL TOO SOON
WE HOLDING HANDS AGAIN

OH HOW THE YEARS FLY BY
BUT HE WAS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE
STRONG AND PROUD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
MORE LOVE HE COULDNT GIVE
BUT HE GAVE EVERYTHING
MY DADDY WAS THE MAN I WANT TO BE

2 BAR BREAK

ONE STORMY NIGHT WHILE ASLEEP I LAY
INTO MY ROOM MY DADDY CAME
HELD ME TIGHT AND KEPT ME SAFE
DADDY WAS MY HERO AGAIN


BUT TIME IT PASSES
LIKE A LEAF BLOWN IN THE WIND
AND ALL TOO SOON
WE WERE WHISPERING I LOVE YOU AGAIN

OH HOW THE YEARS FLY BY
BUT HE WAS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE
STRONG AND PROUD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
MORE LOVE HE COULDNT GIVE
BUT HE GAVE EVERYTHING
MY DADDY WAS THE MAN I WANT TO BE


AT EIGHTEEN YEARS IN AN OLE CHEVOROLT
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DIP AN BRAKE
MORE MILES ON THE DASH THEN ID EVER SEEN
BUT DADDY BOUGHT ME
MY FIRST DREAM


OH HOW THE YEARS FLY BY
BUT HE WAS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE
STRONG AND PROUD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
MORE LOVE HE COULDNT GIVE
BUT HE GAVE EVERYTHING
MY DADDY WAS THE MAN I WANT TO BE

MORE LOVE HE COULDNT GIVE
BUT HE GAVE EVERYTHING
MY DADDY WAS THE MAN I WANT TO BE

From the heart and soul -- the places from which good country music comes from. Janice used the word "soothing."

Great tribute and a nice production.

Brad,

This is a song to be proud of. You've written fine words and have set them against an equally fine melody. Your singing is a perfect fit and the arrangement is skillfully woven. As I listened to your singing, the sincerity and the honesty in your voice shone. This is an excellent journey of remembrance for your dad.

Regards,
Noel
