LYRICS:
I see you on the kitchen floor
Three weeks past the age of four
Will you remember this
There’s so much that I’d like to say
Cause someday you’ll push me away
And leave your innocence

Your father's father loved in his own way,
We had our moments but he would always say

I will fail but always try
And I will do wrong things and apologize
And show you what it's like to forgive
I'll give you space but never leave,
I'll be a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this
A fathers love knows where you live

I see your arm around someone
The salt and sugar of young love
I do remember this
A heart can break a thousand ways
There’s wisdom in the scars we make
And time will heal the rest

I'm just a father who's learning his own way
All I can offer is exactly what my daddy would say
I will fail but always try
I will do wrong things and apologize
And show you what it's like to forgive
I'll give you space but never leave
And be your safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this
A fathers love knows where you live

And I will do my best
To not cushion every fall
Even though my heart tells me to save you from it all
There will be tears and jealousy
There will be loss and victory
But when your daddy’s gone
I hope that you will see

That I failed but always tried
I did some wrong things and apologized
And showed you what it's like to forgive
I gave you space but wouldn't leave
I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this

That I failed but always tried
I did some wrong things and apologized
And showed you what it's like to forgive
I gave you space but wouldn't leave
I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this

A fathers love knows where you live
Knows where you live

  • For all of the people who sent this to their father, are thinking of their Dad, or unfortunately are missing them... you're not alone

    Showed this song to my New York Italian father over the weekend and he said "Thank you for the share. I love you son." That's the most he's ever expressed his love to me. Thank you Unc Al.
  • I love Allen Stone and his music. I had to share this with my girls.
