June 20, 2010 - Fathers Day Oh My Father 詞/ Lyrics copyright 2010 Robin Dale (羅賓漢) When I was a boy – Running, laughing, head in the clouds My father stood close by to keep my feet on solid ground And Oh – How I looked up to him – Like any boy would In the gentle rain, if I would slip and fall “Well life can be like that” he would smile and say “But love can ease the pain, sometimes my son, we all need a hand” Oh My Father – Watched and smiled and helped me grow Every day he lived for others – So that I would know Oh My Father – Showed me what real love’s made of “Give to others” he would say “And you will always have enough” In the pouring rain – When life was so unkind Sometimes your friends are cruel – Sometimes their just blind No matter what the cost – I could always hear my father say “Take Heart Son Love Forgives” Love considers all – Believes the best and wins Don’t give in to the pain of self pity – To your anger don’t give in Press on and gain the prize – Look through the eyes of love Oh My Father – Wisdom is your native tongue Teaching me in quiet strength – We must show love to everyone Oh My Father – Speaking with your actions first Teaching me in just one word – The meaning of each verse (solo) Love considers all – Believes the best and wins Don’t give in to the pain of self pity – To your anger don’t give in Press on and gain the prize – Look through the eyes of love Teaching me in quiet strength – We must show love to everyone Oh My Father – Speaking with your actions first Showing me in just one word – The meaning of each verse “Hey Dad – Thanks - For Everything”
