Analysis of To Love A Father Like Mine
I once was like you
Dear father of mine
sweet fruit that we plucked from the vine
I ran through the rain to catch the rainbow
So gentle and kind the laddy
I was until my wedding day
to love a father like mine
Oh what love joy and happiness
rest inside of me
to love a father like mine
