Last night, we brought the children by to visit their grandpa
And it's plain to see they're truly part of him
While we were there, their grandma took out some old photographs
And he sure looked a lot like me back then
I'm seeing my father in me
I guess that's how it's meant to be
And I find I'm more and more like him each day
I notice I walk the way he walks
I notice I talk the way he talks
I'm starting to see my father in me
And today, I took my wife for a walk down that old dirt road
Where my daddy took my mama so many times
And we found the time to mention things we never had before
And we shared some thoughts about the family life
Yeah, I'm seeing my father in me
I guess that's how it's meant to be
And I find I'm more and more like him each day
I notice I walk the way he walks
I notice I talk the way he talks
I'm starting to see my father in me
And now, looking back, I can recall the times we disagreed
When I could not take hold of his old-fashioned ways
And the more I tried to prove him wrong, the more I proved him right
Now, I know why he still stood by me when I went through that stage
I'm seeing my father in me
I guess that's how it's meant to be
And I find I'm more and more like him each day
I notice I walk the way he walks
I notice I talk the way he talks
I'm starting to see my father in me
And I'm happy to see my father in me
