The time has come for me to take A step back and reflect A world of possibility But all because you kept My heart and mind on track Taught me how to tie my shoes And took me to the park But what will stick with me is The day you gave me this guitar Spun my life around I know that our futures will be fine Cos all our wounds and cracks have healed with time And you've been more than a father in my life And I would die quite happily being half the man that you have been to me My head is filled with memories But my heart hurts the most I hope you realise how hard it is To see you giving up the ghost A part of me has died Showed me all the good paths No you'd never let me stray And even when I cried you'd always Make things seem ok Heaven knows I tried But I know that our futures will be fine Cos all our wounds and cracks have healed with time And you've been more than a father in my life And I would die quite happily being half the man that you have been to me And I would die quite happily being half the man that you have been to me
