My Father's Shoes Lyrics
What can I say to this town of my woe
When it looks up to me for the answers
You've got trust in his eyes and so gentle sun weed
What all the words I can say
Can I tell him of my life
And can it be you for as long as lights go
An example to follow
I finally remembered someday
What all the words I can say
I could say I want
Well, the world ain't just like you
And I understand, seen your feelings
The Greyhound in lying on the finger on my face
The old man is always acting that way
And 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
What all the words I can say
What all the words I can say
When it looks up to me for the answers
You've got trust in his eyes and so gentle sun weed
What all the words I can say
And can it be you for as long as lights go
An example to follow
I finally remembered someday
What all the words I can say
Well, the world ain't just like you
And I understand, seen your feelings
The Greyhound in lying on the finger on my face
The old man is always acting that way
He wore these kind of shoes
And after all this time
I think I know him
But the time has passed away
What all the words I can say
What all the words I can say

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.
