The Father in You
By: Between Dreams
Big Brother I love you
you know that I do
Your like a father to me
I wish you had one to
You pretend to be happy
You laugh and you play
But I can tell that your sad
'cause that man didn't stay
The man in the picture
you look at all night
When you think I'm asleep
and you turn on the light
I hope that somehow
you'll feel better soon
I hate hearing you cry
but we share the same room
I hear you cry
and I feel really bad
I don't tell you I know
I don't want you to be mad
Whenever you cry
It makes me cry to
I wish that man
would come back to you
You've done so much for me
and you deserve the world
Maybe Mommy's right
maybe you need a girl
Some one to love
and to love you back
But I hope you know
you have me for that
I remember calling you Papa
once when I was young
I think it was fathers day
That day always stung
That was the day
that you openly cried
You said that you missed
that man that had died
You wished I had a father
and said it wasn't fair
But I look up at you
and see my father there
I don't understand why
you don't think you can
be the father you act like
the father I see
