Like Father Like Son lyrics

Artist  : David Cassidy 
Song : Like Father Like Son
 

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
