What Would My Dad Say?

If my dad was still around what would he make of things

What would my dad say if he could now see
All of the things that’ve happened to me
Some he’d be proud of and some he’d be sad
But it’s all a part of being a dad

What would my dad do, if he was now here
Embrace his daft son, or clip his left ear
Encourage and cajole wherever he could
Yes I am certain, that’s what my dad would

What would my dad say if he could meet his Grandsons
Chuffed to bits at each and every one
“Bonny lads” for sure, he’d say it with glee
I know that for sure – he even said it to me

What would my dad do if he saw his Grand girls
His eyes would smile widely at their long flowing curls
“Bonny lasses” both, the proud granda would say
A right Geordie greeting, he’d say it that way

So what would my dad say as he saw it unfold
His son go through life sometimes meek sometimes bold
Making his own way whilst missing his dad
Doing his best this young Geordie lad
