/ A son rarely tells his Father How he really feels / A handshake or a pat on the back Is all that he reveals I'd like to right that wrong Here in this little song. / Thank you for shaping my life / Thank you for teaching me all you can / You are no ordinary man, Oh no, no You make me everything I am / Thank you for taking the time / Thank you for showing me the way / And thank you for being there When I need you Thank you for every single day Now I've been blessed with a son of my own Got my own bedtime stories to tell If I can raise him half as well As you raised me Guess I'll be doing pretty well. / Thank you for your guiding hand Thank you for making my dreams come true / You're an extraordinary man / And I hope you're as proud of me As I am proud of you Thank you for giving me life Thank you for teaching me good from bad I guess I'm only really trying to say Thank you for being my Dad Even though the years drift away I never took the time just to say I love you and I always have And thank you for being my Dad Thank you for being my Dad
