D. Cassidy/S. Shifrin/S. Diamond I can still remember never really knowing Would it be a kiss or the slamming of a door Every time I think about the man my father After all these years it's still a tug of war I bear his cross and I carry his name I feel him living in me The good and the bad, the sinner the saint Chorus: Like father, like son From generation to generation You can pass down the love Or pass on the hate The boy's in the man You what they say Like father, like son As I hold you near me I swear I'd never hurt you I can feel the trust in your tiny hand Will I shut you out, even though I love you If I break my promise will you understand? Try to forgive and accept my mistakes I will be living in you The good and the bad, the sinner the saint Chorus: Like father, like son From generation to generation You can pass down the love Or pass on the hate The boy's in the man You what they say Like father, like son I can't live your life for you Or spare you the pain Take the best of who I am And make your own way Thank about your father Thank about the man You bear my cross and you carry my name I will be living in you The good and the bad, the sinner and the saint Chorus: Like father, like son From generation to generation You can pass down the love Or pass on the hate The boy's in the man You what they say Like father, like son
