Story behind the song
A song I wrote the night before Father's Day, when I was alone at home. My daughter went out, I watched her walk away to go to her friends house, and I just happened to have my notepad in hand, to capture how I felt. Which was a bittersweet feeling, may I say.
Lyrics
The girls have both grown up so fast But you know time it goes on past Summers in the park, the pool, the beach Those days they all seem out of reach If I asked, I know what they would say We had fun, Dad, and we love you just the same It don’t seem the same to me It don’t seem the same to me Something’s missing, incomplete It don’t seem the same to me The little hand I held across the street Has got her friends to go and meet I watch her leaving on her own And it hurts to be alone If I asked, I know what you would say Tomorrow’s Father’s day, and nothing much has changed It don’t seem that way to me, It don’t seem the same to me Something’s missing, incomplete It don’t seem the same to me The world is always changing Time don’t wait for me I look up to the sun and see My fledgling flying free (Solo) It don’t seem that way to me, It don’t seem the same to me Something’s missing, incomplete It don’t seem the same to me
