Can I Call You Dad Lyrics

He was the best man at my wedding

Barely 4 years old and heading to steal my heart

He belongs to the love of my life

So I gained a son along with a wife

But still he knows

That his father went away 3 years ago

He had always called me by my name

But one night that all changed

He made his point so loud and clear

With just a whisper in my ear

He said, Can I Call You Dad

Or would that make you mad

Cause my real Dad's up in heaven today

And I don't think he'd mind

If we used his name

I'd give up my Baseball cards

And you can have my set of Matchbox Cars

If I could only Call you Dad

From that day on I've called him Son

He calls me Dad cause I'm the one

Who's been there

I've watched him change from day to day

And there's a little bit of me in that boy I've raised

But now he's grown

And I'm the only Dad he's ever known

And even though the years have passed

That special bond will always last

Since that night I ticked him into bed

And heard these words he said

When he said, Can I Call You Dad

Or would that make you mad

Cause my real Dad's up in heaven today

And I don't think he'd mind

If we used his name

I'd give up my Baseball Cards

And you can have my set of Matchbox Cars

If I could only Call you dad

I'd give up my Baseball Cards

And you can have my set of Matchbox Cars

If I could only Call you Dad
