I chase the shadow of each passing day and savor every moment as it slips away,
I seek the magic of your warm embrace and wish, with every heartbeat, I could see your face.

Day by day and line upon line,
The passing of time brings me closer to that day when I'll see your face.

I think about you every day and every night in my dreams,
You look beyond my childish ways with loving eyes, so it seems,
You're just like a father to me.

We all need someone that will take some time,
Like little children waiting for a nursery rhyme,
It's not so much the things we say or do, I'm just so glad to spend a little time with you.

After all you've given to me,
The everyday things that I need will come my way as you give me grace.

I think about you every day and every night in my dreams,
You look beyond my childish ways with loving eyes, so it seems,
You're just like a father to me.

I think about you every day and every night in my dreams,
You look beyond my childish ways with loving eyes, so it seems,
You're just like a father to me.

You're just like a father to me,
Just like a father to me,
You're just like a father to me.
