A Glass for You, Dad

[Verse]
You wore the world upon your sleeve
A million stories still believe
Them Sunday mornings you'd never miss
Still hear your laugh still crave your kiss

[Verse 2]
All your cars sparked dreams in me
Polished chrome my destiny
Every wheel a lesson spun
Under your shadow I tried to run

[Chorus]
I'm raising this glass for you tonight
E&J burning until the light
Hope you're watching hope you're near
Every word is for you to hear

[Verse 3]
You walked with pride but kept it low
In your heart a steady glow
The women watched you'd tip your hat
A gentleman I honor that

[Verse 4]
Your flaws your shine I took in stride
A compass broken yet my guide
I wanted to be just like you
A world so big I never knew

[Chorus]
I'm raising this glass for you tonight
E&J burning until the light
Hope you're watching hope you're near
Every word is for you to hear

heartfelt, reflective, contemporary
