Default A Father's Song (Original)

I wrote this song about a year after my father passed away.
https://soundcloud.com/247hoopsfan/a-fathers-song

I had wanted to write a song about him for my mom. I woke up one night after dreaming about my dad and these lyrics kind of came to me. I had to get up at 4 am and start writing because I knew I would forget them.

What a nice REAL song about your relationship with your father. It's written in a way that I'm sure speaks to so many sons and daughters! Well done.
