I Just Lost My Dad

You taught me to be honest
Work for what is right
Keep things positive and don't join in the fight

I got my love of music
Watching you with your records and tapes
I also love Dylan, Miles
James Taylor and Victor F

You took us to the games and screamed at the refs
We threw confetti when times were the best
I never meant to let you down
I always meant to make you proud

You taught me the value of working hard
See the job all the way through and do it smart
You often told me to get a good job
'Cause instead of math I picked the guitar

I never meant to let you down
I always meant to make you proud
And now I have a family of three
To help carry on the family tree

I just lost my Dad
Can't even be sad
All the times we had
The good and the bad

I just lost my Dad
Best anyone had
Don't need to be sad
All the good times we had

You always had a joke or two to tell
One for the kids and one when we went to bed
We'd go upstairs while you laughed and laughed
But we took a peek ' cause it sounded like a blast

I never meant to let you down
I always meant to make you proud
And now I have a family of three
To help carry on the family tree

I just lost my Dad
Can't even be sad
All the times that we had
Some good and some bad

I just lost my Dad
Best anyone had
Don't need to be sad
All the good times we had
