Leon Russell – My Father's Shoes Lyrics 3 years ago
I can't believe how wrong most people get the lyrics to this song. Everywhere I look on the internet I see people misinterpreting this song and the lyrics don't even make any since. Here's how the song lyrics really go:.

What can I say to this child of my own
When he looks up to me for the answer
You got trust in his eyes and such innocent ways
Bout all the words I can say

Can I tell him of my life
And can it be used for his own life goals and examples
To follow and finally remember some day
Bout all the words I can say

I could say I once was a boy just like you
And I understand the things your feeling
But later in life I'm afraid he just might say
The old man is always acting that way

Now I think of my daddy he wore these kind of shoes
And after all this time I think I know him
I'd like to say I love him but the time has passed away
Bout all the words I can say
Bout all the words I can say

After you get the words right, the meaning is pretty obvious. It's a beautiful song of a father's love for his son. I loved it the first time I heard it but my son said it didn't mean much to him until he had a son of his own and now he loves it as much as me. RIP Leon.
