Father's Day Music list

“Without music life would be a mistake.”
~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Words express our mind, music conveys our heart. Oftentimes, when our tongue fails to express the deeper feelings of our heart, the core of our emotions, we realize the limitation of words and fathom the eternal importance of euphony. Father's Day is one of those occasions when we want to wish our dads, thank them for all the pains they take for us and honor them for their selfless love and sacrifice. But mere words are hardly enough to express our feelings for dad in its entirety. That is why, music is such an integral part of Father's Day celebrations as it is also of our life. Here we bring for you a beautiful collection of popular music related to the theme of fathers and fatherhood. Go down and check these out.

Daddy's Hands

Artist: Dunn Holly
Album: Holly Dunn - Milestones: Greatest Hits

I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that I´ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

I remember Daddy´s hands, working 'til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I´d live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love .....
In Daddy´s hands.

  • My Father's Eyes

    Artist: Eric Clapton

    Sailing down behind the sun,
    Waiting for my prince to come.
    Praying for the healing rain
    To restore my soul again.

    Just a toerag on the run.
    How did I get here?
    What have I done?
    When will all my hopes arise?
    How will I know him?
    When I look in my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.
    When I look in my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.

    Then the light begins to shine
    And I hear those ancient lullabies.
    And as I watch this seedling grow,
    Feel my heart start to overflow.

    Where do I find the words to say?
    How do I teach him?
    What do we play?
    Bit by bit, I've realized
    That's when I need them,
    That's when I need my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.
    That's when I need my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.

    Then the jagged edge appears
    Through the distant clouds of tears.
    I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
    My foundations were made of clay.

    As my soul slides down to die.
    How could I lose him?
    What did I try?
    Bit by bit, I've realized
    That he was here with me;
    I looked into my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.
    I looked into my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.

    My Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.
    I looked into my Father's eyes.
    My Father's eyes.

    Old Man

    Artist: Neil Young

    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.
    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.

    Old man look at my life,
    Twenty four
    and there's so much more
    Live alone in a paradise
    That makes me think of two.

    Love lost, such a cost,
    Give me things
    that don't get lost.
    Like a coin that won't get tossed
    Rolling home to you.

    Old man take a look at my life
    I'm a lot like you
    I need someone to love me
    the whole day through
    Ah, one look in my eyes
    and you can tell that's true.

    Lullabies, look in your eyes,
    Run around the same old town.
    Doesn't mean that much to me
    To mean that much to you.

    I've been first and last
    Look at how the time goes past.
    But I'm all alone at last.
    Rolling home to you.

    Old man take a look at my life
    I'm a lot like you
    I need someone to love me
    the whole day through
    Ah, one look in my eyes
    and you can tell that's true.

    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.
    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.

    Butterfly kisses

    Artist: Bob Carlisle

    There's two things I know for sure.
    She was sent here from heaven,
    and she's daddy's little girl.
    As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
    she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
    And I thank God for all of the joy in
    my life, But most of all, for...

    Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
    Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
    "Walk beside the pony
    daddy, it's my first ride."
    "I know the cake looks funny,
    daddy, but I sure tried."
    Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
    I must have done something right
    To deserve a hug every morning,
    And butterfly kisses at night.

    Sweet sixteen today,
    She's looking like her momma
    a little more everyday.
    One part woman, the other part girl.
    To perfume and makeup,
    from ribbons and curls.
    Trying her wings out in a great
    big world. But I remember...

    Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
    Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
    "You know how much I love you daddy,
    But if you don't mind,
    I'm only going to kiss you on
    the cheek this time."
    With all that I've done wrong
    I must have done something right.
    To deserve her love every morning,
    And butterfly kisses at night.

    All the precious time
    Like the wind, the years go by
    Precious butterfly
    Spread your wings and fly

    She'll change her name today.
    She'll make a promise,
    and I'll give her away.
    Standing in the bride room
    just staring at her,
    she asked me what I'm thinking,
    and I said "I'm not sure,
    I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
    Then she leaned over....and gave me....

    Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
    Sticking little flowers all up in her hair
    "Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
    "Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?"
    "Daddy,
    don't cry."
    With all that I've done wrong,
    I must have done something right
    To deserve her love every morning,
    And butterfly kisses
    I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
    I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
    Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

    Daddy's Little Girl

    Artist: Karla Bonoff
    Album: Best of Karla Bonoff: All My Life



    He was the calm in the storm
    Daddy kept us warm
    (and) What will I do when he's gone
    How will I carry on

    Yes I know when it's his time to go
    That I'll have to grow up too
    Oh can't I stay right here
    and be daddy's little girl

    So how did the years go so fast
    Or did we just lose track
    So now we can't waste any time
    I'll make each moment mine

    Yes I know when it's his time to go...

    The time keeps moving
    Life keeps passing
    There's still so much to say
    But I will go on
    I will be strong
    I will find my way

    When I look in the face of the child
    I see you in her eyes
    And we're all so much the same
    We'll carry on your name

    Yes I know when that you have to go
    and I have to grow up too
    Oh can't I stay right here and
    be daddy's little girl
    Oh can't I stay right here and
    be daddy's little girl


  • Papa, Can You Hear Me?

    Artist: Barbra Streisand
    Album: Just For The Record...

    PRAYER
    Oh God-our heavenly Father.
    Oh, God-and my father
    Who is also in heaven.
    May the light of this
    Flickering candle
    Illuminate the night the way
    Your spirit illuminates my soul.

    Papa, can you hear me?
    Papa, can you see me?
    Papa can you find me in the night?
    Papa are you near me?
    Papa, can you hear me?
    Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
    Looking at the skies I seem to see
    A million eyes which ones are yours?
    Where are you now that yesterday
    Has waved goodbye
    And closed its doors?
    The night is so much darker;
    The wind is so much colder;
    The world I see is so much bigger
    Now that I'm alone.
    Papa, please forgive me.
    Try to understand me;
    Papa, don’t you know I had no choice?
    Can you hear me praying,
    Anything I'm saying
    Even though the night is filled with voices?
    I remember everything you taught me
    Every book 1've ever read...
    Can all the words in all the books
    Help me to face what lies ahead?
    The trees are so much taller
    And I feel so much smaller;
    The moon is twice as lonely
    And the stars are half as bright...
    Papa, how I love you...
    Papa, how I need you.
    Papa, how I miss you
    Kissing me good night...

    Father

    Artist: Cat Stevens

    Father oh father
    Hear me if you can
    Is it true what they say
    That life is a dream
    I dont understand
    The things that make rain in my eyes
    Are they real or are they lies

    You know I hear so much about you now
    Id give anything
    To go on a little boat with you
    Talk about the scheme of things
    On a little boat with you

    Father oh father
    Guide me if you can
    Or give me the chance to follow you home
    I am your son but I wish I knew you
    When you were young
    Were you lonely as a boy

    You know Id give so much to see you now
    Id go anywhere
    Pick a little stick and walk with you
    Talk about the scheme of things
    On a short walk with you

    Father oh father
    You give me just a little hope
    I feel something out there reaching for me
    Well here I am
    Wont you take me with you
    Out of this maze
    And away from this place

    Because it gets so cold and lonely here
    Ill do anything
    To sit on a little rock with you
    Talk about the scheme of things
    On a small rock with you

    Show me show me show me the way
    Before they grind me down
    And bleach me grey
    Send me power not to be afraid
    And when I close my eyes
    Let me see you once in the light

    Father oh father
    Heal me if you can
    Is it true what they say
    That life is a dream

    Father And Daughter

    Artist: Paul Simon
    Album: The Wild Thornberrys Soundtrack

    If you leap awake
    In the mirror of a bad dream
    And for a fraction of a second
    You can't remember where you are
    Just open your window
    And follow your memory upstream
    To the meadow in the mountain
    Where we counted every falling star

    I believe the light that shines on you
    Will shine on you forever
    And though I can't guarantee
    There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
    I’m gonna stand guard
    Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
    And never leave till I leave you
    With a sweet dream in your head

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    Trust your intuition
    It's just like going fishing
    You cast your line
    And hope you'll get a bite
    But you don't need to waste your time
    Worrying about the market place
    Try to help the human race
    Struggling to survive its harshest night

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    Sorry Love Daddy

    Artist: Brian McFadden

    It seems like only yesterday
    I held you in my arms and said
    You will never need to fear the dark
    But unforeseen misery has come
    Between your Mommy and me
    And we can love you more, now we are apart

    Daddy, he's got to go away
    Coz there's just no other way
    To live this through
    Someday, you'll learn to understand
    This wasn't what I planned, for me and you
    Sorry, love Daddy

    Everyday is filled with pain
    But never feel that you're to blame
    Sometimes life breaks, in mysterious ways
    I can't make it up to you
    Believe me I am trying to
    No matter what you'll always be my babies

    Father's Day

    Artist: Cast
    Album: Children Of Eden Soundtrack

    FATHER
    Sleeping there like angels
    Innocent and simple
    I think she's got my nose
    I think he's got my dimple

    In my own image
    From my likeness are they sprung
    They will keep me company
    They will keep me young

    That's what it means to be a Father
    Planning their future as you watch your children sleep
    That's what it means to be a Father
    I never knew that I could feel a love so deep

    Well I will be their teacher and I will be their guide
    And anything they'll ever need I'll be there to provide
    And in return, they'll love me
    Stay forever at my side
    That's what it means to be a Father

    For I have built a universe, spectacular and new
    And I sat there in my universe and learned that this was true:
    What use is a universe with no one to give it to?
    Not a hill of beans
    'Til you pass along your genes
    That's what it means to be a Father

Father To Son

Artist: Queen
Album: Queen II

Somewhere down the road, youre gonna find a place
It seems so far, but it never is
You wont need to stay, but you might lose your strength
On the way

Sometimes you may feel youre the only one
Cos all the things you thought were safe, now theyre gone
But you wont be alone, Ill be here to carry you along
Watching you til all your work is done

When you find your heart, youd better run with it
Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
No theres nothing wrong, youre learning to be strong
Dont look back
She may soon be gone, no dont look back
Shes not the only one, remember that

If your heart is beating fast, then you know shes right
If you dont know what to say, well, thats all right
You dont know what to do?
Remember she is just as scared as you

Dont be shy, even when it hurts to say
Remember, youre gonna get hurt someday, anyway
Then you must lift your head, keep it there
Remember what I said
Ill always be with you dont forget
Just look over your shoulder Ill be there.

If you look behind you, I will be there.

Father And Son

Artist: Cat Stevens
Album: Tea For The Tillerman

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
 

Seein' My Father In Me

Artist: Paul Overstreet
Album: The Best of Paul Overstreet


Last night we brought the children by to visit their Grandpa
And it's plain to see they're truly part of him
While we were there
Their Grandma took out some old photographs
Man, he sure looked a lot like me back then

CHORUS: I'm seein' my father in me
I guess that's how it's meant to be
And I find I'm more and more like him each day
I notice I walk the way he walks
I notice I talk the way he talks
I'm startin' to see my father in me

And today I took my wife for a walk
Down that old dirt road
Where my Daddy took my Mom so many time
And we found the time
To mention things we never had before
And we shared some thoughts about the family life

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE: And now lookin' back I can recall the times we disagreed
When I could not take hold of his old fashioned ways
And the more I tried to prove him wrong
The more I proved him right
Now I know why he still stood by me
When I went through that stage

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Tag: And I'm happy to see my father in me

Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

Artist: The Temptations

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, some bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills.
Hey Mama, folks say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE.
