Simply Being Dad Lyrics


Harvey Andrews Simply Being Dad

Today you phoned to say hello
You couldn´t come, you had to go
See a friend, stay to tea
You thought you ought to just give me a call

Yes, you should have rung on Friday night
But just forgot, was that alright?
You knew that I would understand
I hadn´t got an evening planned at all

And there you go again
Making me count from one to ten
The hardest job I´ve had
Is simply being Dad
It´s not a role you learn to play
You improvise from day to day
The crowd who watch have all been there
And shuddered in that spotlight glare alone

You didn´t choose, you had no say
I picked you up along the way
And love can be a heavy load
To carry on that long, long road to home

And there you go again
Making me count from one to ten
The hardest job I´ve had
Is simply being Dad

You need space to dance and turn
I must show that fires burn
You make mistakes, learn from pain
Same mistakes you´ll make again next year

And sometimes do I care too much
Do we collide instead of touch
Do I provide a helping hand
Or do I hold you back or stand too near?

'Cause there you go again
Making me count from one to ten
The hardest job I´ve had
Is simply being Dad
So knuckle down and do your best
You´re in the race with all the rest
The hard ones make it all the way
The dreamers just wake up one day behind

When the sun is cold, the evening´s come
You´ve marched on to a different drum
I know I´ve said it all before
But much of life is like a war you´ll find

And there I go again
Making you count from one to ten
The hardest job you´ve had
Is simply having Dad
Yes, the hardest job you´ve had
Is simply having Dad
