lyrics
There’s a sharp looking man with a farmer's tan
In my baby book
Shoulders back, he leaned in to a broken world
He had a head of curls like his baby girl
And a devilish grin
He was a tender hearted trickster
And I’m a lot like him
And my father loved me
When he could not love himself
He put his faith in me
When he was certain he would fail
So when the world has been unkind
And doubts weigh on my mind
I try and love myself the way my father loved me
You won’t say it out loud
You’re far too proud
But it’s plain to see
How his demons follow you
Just like they follow me
Between the three of us
There’s a lot of him
We got the good and bad
A steady hand
And a habit for getting oh, so sad
But our father loved us
When he could not love himself
He put his faith in us
When he was certain he would fail
So when the world has been unkind
And doubts weigh on your mind
Try and love yourself the way our father loved us
Like licorice and tobacco and spearmint gum
When the worry’s coming for you, you better run run run
There’s a ghost of a man at the back of every hall I sing
And he’s a braggart, he claims his daughter could do anything
I wanna be just like him and nothing like him
At the very same time
And my father loved me
When he couldn’t love himself
How he believed in me
When he was certain he would fail
So when the world has been unkind
And darkness weighs upon my mind
I try, I try
And love myself the way my father loved me
