Dear Father (Because of you)

this is a song i wrote, to thank my father for all his support over the years

Dear father
There's so many things I’d like to say to you
to thank you for all that you do, for me

Dear father
You’ve never gone astray
You’ve stood by my hurdle all the way
And When I'm scared and want to hide
You're always there by my side

(chorus 1)
Because of you
I can still walk
Because of you
I have the chance to dream
Because of you
And all the help you give
I can look at my future, with a smile
And know that its worthwhile
Because of you

Dear father
I respect the man you are
You're a loving dad and son
And Even when your own heart bleeds
You're always there for others needs

Dear father
There's a special bond we share
And When you need me, I’ll be there
You have given me a special gift
Of a father that cannot be replaced

(chorus 2)
Because of you
You help the pain to ease
Because of you
My anxiety starts to cease
If it wasn’t for you
I may not have survived,
That time when I felt I could die
It was you who held my hand
As I, laid there and cried
Because of you

They say a ring is round
And that’s for sure
And that’s how long
I’ll love you for

(chorus 1)

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you

My father, thank you
My father, you are so true
My father, a heart so pure
My father, I love you…
