I
Am My Dad
The ties get wider
The pants get tight
I look inside but the memory stalls
The shirts get brighter
The pants turn white
It`s almost winter Miami calls
The belts get bigger
As does the waist
I never figured on being this vast
Look in the mirror
That`s not my face
It`s happened so hard and so fast
And I, I, I
I am my dad
Yes I, I, I
I am my dad
The eyes get weaker
The cheeks get pink
The hair gets thinner, what hair still remains
I can`t wear sneakers
I start to shrink
The ground gets closer with every day
And I, I, I
I am my dad
Yes I, I, I
I am my dad
Though the signs may seem blurry
When out on the highway
Don`t tell me I`m legally blind
There`s no need to worry
We`ll make it through my way
We`ll straddle that dotted white line
The pulse gets quicker
The ankles creak
I grab my slippers when I have to run
The blood gets thicker
The bladder`s weak
It`s passed on from father to son
And I, I, I
I am my dad
Yes I, I, I
I am my dad
- from
But
I'm Happy Now
