Lyrics
I Saw My Father (c) 2009 Janice Hopkins/Greg C. Brown/Mark D. Preston One year later... how time goes by Since Daddy was called back home. It was hard for me to let him go, Afraid of being alone. My father was my source of strength, I always had his ear. No challenge was too great for me Just as long as he was near. I've mourned him every day and night, But just this morning in the bathroom light CHORUS I saw my father in the mirror, He looked a lot like me. So much written on his face Saying let go of your grief. His life reflected in my eyes Said I would be okay. I felt his presence one more time When I saw my father today. All my life I'd hear folks say, You're so much like your dad Not only in the way you look But the way you speak and act He was a proud, God-fearing man Hard working, strong and brave. He told me once, You should always give Much more than you ever take So, I mirror my life by the way he lived I'm grateful he left such a wonderful gift CHORUS I saw my father in the mirror He looked a lot like me So much written on his face Saying let go of your grief His life reflected in my eyes Said I would be okay I felt his presence one more time When I saw my father today Today I woke at 6 AM, Made my way down the hall When I looked into his eyes again I wasn't feeling alone at all I saw my father in the mirror He looked a lot like me So much written on his face Saying let go of your grief His life reflected in my eyes Said I would be okay I felt his presence one more time When I saw my father today
