Song For My Father / I See You
by Niels Cremer, 01/2017

I see you in the reflection, of myself there on the screen
I feel you in the lines I write, that will all remain unseen
I hold you in my grateful heart, that never will despair
I hear you in the winter wind, and know that you are there
You know my every little quirk, and I'm sure you still recall
How you followed every step I'd take, just to see that I won't fall
You fired my imagination, and did instill in me
A love of language, words and rhymes, and that is why I feel

I see you - In the mirror on the wall
I see you - And I don't mind at all

I hear you in the songs I write, in every single note
Play every chord with you in mind, each word I ever wrote
You're guiding every step I take, towards an unknown end
I trust you in the darkness, of this uncharted land
You made me who I am today, your legacy's in me
For good or worse, you're what I was, I am and what I'll be
Now my own boys will soon be grown and I hope that I have done
My best to give what I have learned from the father to the son

I see you - In the mirror on the wall
I see you - And I don't mind at all
I see you - In the mirror on the wall
I see you - And I don't mind - No I don't mind - I don't mind at all
