My Shadow by Ernie Dawson
Daddy can you come outside, and play with me a while
We'll ride bikes or throw the ball, he says with a great big smile
Standing in the shadow of his daddy that he loves so much
he's watching everything that he does
And he's my shadow, He walks everywhere I go
He does everything I do, He says dad I wanna be just like you
so if I fail to shine a light of god's love within me
I wonder what kind of shadow will he be
Many years, they've come and gone, since he left our home
and now there's only memories of him, now that he is gone
but in the shadow of my son, there stands another little one
and now he's casting shadows of his own
yes if I fail to shine a light of gods love within me
I wonder what kind of shadow will he be
For he's my shadow
