Know you were the angel
Who played my lullabies
As I drifted off to sleep
In dreams of a child
Then I'd gently waken
To your softest words
And start the day filled with
The music I'd heard
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned
And never give up faith
Now there comes a time
When one decides
The path he must take
And it isn't always easy
When the ways separate
I couldn't bear your leaving
And it hurt to see you sad
But I know you'll always love me
Cause you'll always be my dad
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned
And never give up faith
Now we sit and read together
Just breathing the same air
Now and then you'll read aloud
A part you want to share
Or maybe we'll be walking
You always lead the way
Not worried if I'm keeping up
You know I'll find my way
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned
And never give up faith
