You're My Dad

How to write a song about my dad, now 31 years gone to a auto accident? Now that I'm grandma age I understand even better what he meant when he told me he didn't think he was a good father even though there was no doubt in my mind that he was exceptional.

Verse 1
A smile played across my face
Memories of you begin to play
Stories try to find their place
Verse 2
You were more than a friend to me
You helped me find who I wanted to be
Revealed a life of possibility
And you were willing to set me free
Verse 3
Now that I’ve been through so much
I realize how lucky I was
With the help of your guiding hand
I’ve grown from my youthful flaws
Chorus
Our past is gone without regrets
Impressions made do not forget
My heart may always feel a debt
Verse 4
Fathering six of us was hard for you
A charge you had to puzzle through
Sometimes in spite of all the strife
The things you do just turn out right
Chorus
Our past is gone without regrets
Impressions made do not forget
My heart may always feel a debt
You’re my Dad
