I chase the shadow of each passing day
And savor every moment as it slips away
I seek the magic of Your warm embrace
And wish with every heartbeat I could see Your face

Day by day and line upon line
The passing of time brings me closer to that day
When I'll see Your face

I think about You every day
And every night in my dreams
You look beyond my childish ways
With loving eyes so it seems
You're just like a father to me

We all need someone that will take some time
Like little children waiting for a nursery rhyme
It's not so much the things we say or do
I'm just so glad to spend a little time with You

After all You've given to me
The everyday things that I need will come my way
As You give me grace

I think about You every day
And every night in my dreams
You look beyond my childish ways
With loving eyes so it seems
You're just like a father to me
