Stan1 you deserve it

Dad, this one's for you. I know you've passed on and it was hard for me to deal with it.
But, I still, I still hear you, always telling me that it's for my own good to remain humble and always work hard.
I Love You, I Miss You.
The lessons you taught me when I was younger I never knew they'd be with me today
See I've travelled through these years / and I've made my mistakes but I've turned out ok, right
And dad I know that you prepared me to be the man / for when you went away
But I've gotta admit that I was not ready but that was something I could not say
Cos they all expected me / to be the strongest one
And I wasn't about to fail / Mom and D and C I could see how they, all looked up at me
I could not shed a tear / (my heart was cryin')
I looked so hard from outside / (inside I was dyin')
Everybody kept asking me, are you ok, but I never knew what to say
I miss You / Dad I'll always, Love and Miss You
I know that You / will always watch, over me too
You taught me that I gotta be a man / be a brother and a son, too
Be the kind of man that other men all look up to
Be the kind of guy that a girl wanna take home too
Meet her friends, her family, her mother too
See all these things I / took to heart but I
Took my time to apply to my life and now I
I realise what you meant / and Dad I thank you
You'll always be my greatest (teacher)
The one who taught me that with (humility, yeah)
Yeah, and hard work you can never go wrong / (no)
I pray to God at night and ask Him to forgive me for all of the wrong that I've done
Cos He knows / that I try at least not to repeat any of my wrongs, no
You taught me that our family / always comes, first after God
You said that you believed in me / and that I can be, anything I wanna be
Many times I've been let down by / those who I Love, but I still try
