Description
I think about my dad often, although he has been gone since October, 2000. Sometimes I talk to him. I don’t know if he hears me, but if he can, I’m glad he can hear “A King In My Eyes”. My dad was not perfect. He wasn't wealthy, by the standards of some, but he was there for me. Now that i'm older, I can appreciate his gift to me. This is a song for you dad, and all who sacrificed to be the man of the house.
Lyrics
You worked hard to take care of us, although we’ve had tough times It wasn’t because you hadn’t tried, the system held you down And now I’ve grown to realize, you did the best you could The times that I had faulted you, I was young and didn’t know You’re a king in my eyes, a king in my eyes You’ve done the best you could for us, You’re a king in my eyes. Those long hard days, and long cold nights, you’d never miss a day Doing six long nines, and one day off, plus the duties along the way. The weight of our world, ly’n squarely on your back, a load you proudly bore. What I didn’t see then, I can see now, how can I say any more. You’re a king in my eyes, a king in my eyes You’ve done the best you could for us You’re a king in my eyes. And now those times are just a memory, as smoke is in the wind, But often times they come to me, before my shift begins, I’ll never forget you, I’m proud of you dad, but now I have to go. What you are, I have become, Isn’t that the way it is? You’re a king in my eyes, a king in my eyes. You’ve done the best you could for us. You’re a king in my eyes.
