Like Father Like Son lyrics

D. Cassidy/S. Shifrin/S. Diamond

I can still remember never really knowing
Would it be a kiss or the slamming of a door
Every time I think about the man my father
After all these years it`s still a tug of war

I bear his cross and I carry his name
I feel him living in me
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint

Chorus: Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy`s in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son

As I hold you near me I swear I`d never hurt you
I can feel the trust in your tiny hand
Will I shut you out, even though I love you
If I break my promise will you understand?
Try to forgive and accept my mistakes
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint

Chorus:
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy`s in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son

I can`t live your life for you
Or spare you the pain
Take the best of who I am
And make your own way
Thank about your father
Thank about the man

You bear my cross and you carry my name
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner and the saint

Chorus:
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy`s in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son
