A Face Like Mine – Peter Bradley AdamsBy I never knew my fatherHe left when I was youngThey say he was a proud manAs good as they comeHe left like all the othersWhen no work could be foundHe smiled and told my motherI won’t let you downThe autumn turned to winterAnd the light left her eyesNo footsteps on the front porchNo word of him arrivedA promise torn to piecesAnd tossed to the groundThough at night she grieved himShe never made a soundI know he had a reasonI know a man can get lostWhatever he believed inI know he suffered the costHis picture’s almost fadedBut I filled in the linesAnd nothing’s unforgivenSo father don’t you cryNow the years have found meWith a child of my ownAnother generationThat must carry the loadBut somewhere there’s a memoryIn the back of my mindI see my father smilingWith a face like mine www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
