Once in a life there comes a man like you
Ebm11 +5 [C6/9]
And you bear a son so much like yourself
-9+5
And it's hard to believe that he's grown into a man
+5 -9 -9
But pop I understand
Once every night I thank my lucky stars
/ Ebm11 +5/ +5/
You've given me some guiding light
-9+5
But there comes a time when a father and a son
Can no longer be one
It took me so long to re cov er-er er

From the pain of having denied the love I once re lied upon
It takes more than time to dis coverer-er er
That for both the young and old

The truth is sometimes cold but right
-5 -5 -5 -5
This is my life
[Bb9-5]
And I've got to hold my own
Even if it means
eb4
hurting us both
And the wrongs become right when we stop
-9+5
and wonder how
Look at us we're better friends now
