List of Fathers Day Songs

Dear Old Dad
Who can fix my broken bike?
Whose strong hands can hold me tight?
When I need someone to make things right,
It's my dear old Dad.

Who does things that help me grow?
Who shows me so I will know?
When I need someone to catch or throw,
It's my dear old Dad.

Dads come in all shapes and sizes,
Big or small, short or tall,
Someday I hope that I will be,
Half as great as he.

Who helps me know right from wrong?
Who works hard all day long?
When I need someone to sing along,
It's my dear old Dad.

Dads come in all shapes and sizes,
Big or small, short or tall,
Someday I hope that I will be,
Half as great as he.

At night before I go to sleep,
I thank the stars for giving me,
The greatest man in history,
It's my dear old Dad.
It's my dear old Dad.
It's my dear old Dad.

The Mandolin Song
I remember when I was a little boy
At home on a rainy day
My father would go and he's look in his room
And bring out his music to play
He'd open his case and play us a tune
For me and the family
And the sound was so clear and full of life
As I played a harmony.

He played polkas and jigs, a two-step and more
He played them with style and finesse
But when it came time for a Viennesse waltz
I knew then that's what he loved best.
He'd pick it and dance it and play it again.
He'd sing us a serenade
And the rain was the rhythm that faded away
And left us a sunny day.

Chorus:
Yes, when my dad played the mandolin
You could almost hear the orchestra play
When my dad played the mandolin
A waltz is what he played.

Now I am grown. I live on my own.
I'm home on a rainy day
I thought of old times so I called up my dad
Long distance, 'cause I wanted to say
"I've been thinking about you and those good old songs
The ones we used to know."
"Well," he said, "I put the mandolin down
More than a year ago."

Now it's taken me years to finally know
The gift of that rainy day
When my father would go and he'd look in his room
And bring out his music to play
He'd be playin' a tune so sweet and so free
As I sat there and followed along
Now I give back to him what he gave to me than
He gave to me a song.
Chorus

Happy Father's Day to You
Verse 1: (Lloyd)
Dad I'm sending you this letter to let you know
I've been thinking 'bout you
All the kids at school are ready for the holidays
That's when I really miss you
If it's not too much to ask
Could you call me or write me back
There's a special day I'm celebrating
And hoping you'd come back

Chorus:
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day
I miss you daddy
I love you badly
I still have faith in you

Verse 2: (Sammie)
Dad I'd make you proud of me
If you can see me but I understand
Mama's doing the best she can
But it's hard for a woman raising a man
(Justin)
And I'm not asking any blame
Because I know in life things change
And if we never get together
I'm still proud to have your name

Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day
I miss you daddy
I love you badly
I still have faith in you

Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day
I miss you daddy
I love you badly
I still have faith in you

Verse 3: (Lloyd)
There's a lot of thigns I don't understand
But I wonder if I did something wrong
And even though mom assures me it's not that way
Am I the reason you're gone
If it's not too much to ask
(Chuckie)
Could you call me or write me back
(Lloyd)
There's a special day I'm celebrating
And hoping you'd come back
(Hoping you'd come back)
OOOOHHHHHHHHH OOOHHHHHHHHHHH OOOOHHHHHHHHH

Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy Father's Day
I miss you daddy

Everyday my papa would work
To try to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa would take me
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
And there were years
Of sadness and of tears
Through it all
Together we were strong
We were strong
Times were rough
But Papa he was tough
Mama stood beside him all along
Growing up with them was easy
The time had flew on by
The years began to fly
They aged and so did I
And I could tell
That mama she wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
When she died
Papa broke down and he cried
And all he could say was, "God, why her? Take me!"
Everyday he sat there sleeping in a rocking chair
He never went upstais
Because she wasn't there
Then one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm proud of how you've grown"
He said, "Go out and make it on your own.
Don't worry. I'm O.K. alone."
He said, "There are things that you must do"
He said, "There's places you must see"
And his eyes were sad as he
As he said goodbye to me
Every time I kess my children
Papa's words ring true
He said, "Children live through you.
Let them grow! They'll leave you, too"
I remember every word Papa used to say
I kiss my kids and pray
That they'll think of me
Oh how I pray
They will think of me
That way
Someday.

"MORE LIKE YOU"
LYRICS:
V1:
Things were kinda shakey
At seventeen years old
You were trying to make a man
Out of a child

V2:
You spoke your words of wisdom
All throughout the years
But it's only now (that)
I truly understand

You did the best with what you had

CHORUS:
Dad, are you proud of who I am?
Dad, you are the man I am!
You did much more than father me
Yeah, you've always been my friend
And I thank you for being my dad

V3:
I must have drove you crazy
With all the things I did
I was just a boy
Trying to find my way

V4:
But you always stood right by me
Following my dreams
Now all I am is because of you
Through everything, I did just what you'd do

And so I say

CHORUS:
Dad, are you proud of who I am?
Dad, you are the man I am!
You did much more than father me
Yeah, you've always been my friend
And I thank you for being my dad

BRIDGE:
When I finally found my way
What they said, I saw was true:
Even though I've wandered far away
It hasn't changed their view
I am more like you!

They say I am more like you!
Hope my children see it, too
So they'll grow up to be
More like you

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY DAD
Music & Lyrics by Jon Barker © 2016jonbarker
A son rarely tells his Father
How he really feels,
A handshake or a pat on the back
Is all that he reveals,
I’d like to right that wrong,
Here in this little song.


Thank you for shaping my life,
Thank you for teaching me all you can,
You are no ordinary man,
You make me everything I am.


Thank you for taking the time,
Thank you for showing me the way,
And thank you for being there
When I need you,
Thank you for every single day.


Now I’ve been blessed with a son of my own,
Got my own bedtime stories to tell,
If I can raise him half as well
As you raised me,
Guess I’ll be doing pretty well.


Thank you for your guiding hand,
Thank you for making my dreams come true,
You’re an extraordinary man,
And I hope you’re as proud of me
As I am proud of you.


Thank you for giving me life,
Thank you for showing me good from bad.
I guess I’m only really trying to say,
Thank you for being my Dad.


Even though the years drift away,
I never took the time just to say,
‘I love you, and I always have,
And thank you for being my Dad.’


‘Thank you for being my Dad.’
