Karaoké A Fathers Song Allen Stone

I see you on the kitchen floor

Three weeks past the age of four

Will you remember this

There's so much that

I'd like to say 'cos someday you'll push me away

And leave your innocence

Your father's father loved in his own way

We had our moments but he would always say

That I will fail but always try and I will do wrong things and apologize

And show you what it's like to forgive

And I'll give you space but never leave

And be your safe place for you to grieve

When you get lost please remember this

A father's love knows where you live

I see your arm around someone

The salt and sugar of your love

I do remember this

Oh a heart can break a thousand ways

There's wisdom in the scars we make

And time will heal the rest

I'm just a father who's learning his own way

All I can offer is exactly what my daddy would say

Well I will fail but always try

I will do wrong things and apologize

And show you what it's like to forgive

And I'll give you space but never leave

And be your safe place for you to grieve

When you get lost please remember this

A father's love knows where you live

And I will do my best to not cushion every fall

Even though my heart tells me to save you from it all

Well there will be tears and jealousy

And there will be loss and victory but

When your daddy's gone I

I hope that you will see

That I failed but always tried

I did some wrong things and apologized

And showed you what it's like to forgive

And I gave you space but wouldn't leave

I'm still a safe place for you to grieve

When you get lost please remember this

That I failed but always tried

And I did some wrong things and apologized

And showed you what it's like to forgive

And I gave you space but wouldn't leave

I'm still a safe place for you to grieve

When you get lost please remember this

A father's love knows where you live

Ooh where you live
