I'll Take It from Here

I'll Take It From Here

I still hear Dad calling, Wanta help me fix this truck?
I came a haulin, cause without me, he'd be stuck
Remember reaching up, to carry my fair share
Cause us buddies, had to treat each other square
Soon that old toolbox got the better of me
My arms started to give out, and he pretended not to see
With the slightest smile, he took on a little more
He shared a few words, as we'd headed to our chore
Chorus:
If it's alright with you, I'll take it from here
I'm gonna need your help again, so, be sure to stay near
Son, I appreciate, All you've done
There's a special bond, between father and son
That's the way that it was, in the years that we shared
As time passed us by, Man, we made quite a pair
He showed me there's nothing that I couldn't do
He also showed me, one's never as strong as two
And at the end, after he'd lived a good life
I reached out to him, trying to help him in his strife
Tried to find the words, so he could finally rest
I whispered in his ear, with my hand upon his chest
Chorus:
If it's alright with you, I'll take it from here
I'm gonna need your help again, so, be sure to stay near
Dad, I appreciate, All you've done
There's a special bond between father and son
Bridge:
And as he passed on, I fell on to my knees
Asked the Lord to give me strength, to carry on his memory
Chorus:
If it's alright with you, can you take it from here?
I'm gonna need your help again, so, be sure to stay near
Lord, I appreciate, All you've done
There's a special bond, between father and son
There's a special bond, between father and son
