About the song
This song is about the passing of my father when I was only 17 years old.
Lyrics
A photo of you
Shows a man strong and wise
You were taken so young
I look at it and I want to cry
But someway, somehow
Without you I’ve managed to stand
But in truth only now
Am I starting to feel like a man
I’ve been up
I’ve been down
I’ve been alone
I’ve had no guiding light
As I’ve grown
It’s been hard growing up
On my own
I needed you
You left too soon
You worked hard to be there
As a boy you took me out to play
And I know you’re somewhere
Oh, I’m thinkin’ ’bout you every day
(repeat chorus)
Shows a man strong and wise
You were taken so young
I look at it and I want to cry
But someway, somehow
Without you I’ve managed to stand
But in truth only now
Am I starting to feel like a man
I’ve been up
I’ve been down
I’ve been alone
I’ve had no guiding light
As I’ve grown
It’s been hard growing up
On my own
I needed you
You left too soon
You worked hard to be there
As a boy you took me out to play
And I know you’re somewhere
Oh, I’m thinkin’ ’bout you every day
(repeat chorus)
