Seeing My Father In Me - Paul Overstreet

Là một ca khúc khá cổ, được phát hành vào năm 1989, nhưng với nhịp điệu thấm đượm chất nhạc đồng quê, bài ca Seeing my father in me được viết bằng lời Anh và thể hiện bởi Paul Overstreet đã mang lại nhiều cung bậc cảm xúc cho người nghe, đặc biệt là với những tâm hồn đang nhung nhớ nghĩ về cha mình. "Thấy hình bóng cha thân yêu trong tôi" chính là ý nghĩa của tên bài hát, nói về những gì mà cha đã "tặng" cho ta và qua đó, thể hiện lòng biết ơn, yêu thương của con cái đối với cha mình.

Lời bài hát:

Last night we brought the children by to visit their Grandpa

And it's plain to see they're truly part of him

While we were there

Their Grandma took out some old photographs

Man, he sure looked a lot like me back then

I'm seein' my father in meI guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks

I notice I talk the way he talks

I'm startin' to see my father in me

And today I took my wife for a walk

Down that old dirt road

Where my Daddy took my Mom so many times

And we found the time

To mention things we never had before

And we shared some thoughts about the family life

Yeah, I'm seein' my father in me

I guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks

I notice I talk the way he talksI'm startin' to see my father in me

And now lookin' back I can recall the times we disagreed

When I could not take hold of his old fashioned ways

And the more I tried to prove him wrong

The more I proved him right

Now I know why he still stood by me

When I went through that stage

I'm seein' my father in meI guess that's how it's meant to be

And I find I'm more and more like him each day

I notice I walk the way he walks

I notice I talk the way he talks

I'm startin' to see my father in me

And I'm happy to see my father in me.
