[Intro] |    /  |      |      |   | [Chorus] Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons They’ve been writing our story before there was one From the day you arrive till you walk till you run There is nothing but pride there is nothing but love [Verse] They can offer advice that you don’t wanna hear Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear You think of them ignorant they think of you arrogant If you need evidence who gave you confidence? A snap of the finger and you’re not a child But you’re still holding on as you walk down the aisle When they give you away to hear someone else say That someone will love you till their dying day [Instrumental] |   |   |   |   | [Chorus] Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons They’ve been writing our story before there was one From the day you arrive till you walk till you run There is nothing but pride there is nothing but love              And that’s the story of love [Verse] You can choose to remember or choose to forget If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed You can say it don’t matter you won’t do the same You’d think no one noticed when you looked away [Chorus] Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons They’ve been writing our story before there was one From the day you arrive till you walk till you run There is nothing but pride there is nothing but love [Verse] Now they’re getting older and you ain’t so young So you take care of them like your daughters and sons You can ask for forgiveness they could ask for the same Forget all the anguish the heartache the pain Wherever you go or wherever you’ve been It’s them that is with you and that’s you that’s with them Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons As one story ends another’s another’s begun [Instrumental] |   |   |   |   | [Chorus] Oh fathers love daughters like mothers love sons They’ve been writing our story before there was one From the day you arrive till you walk till you run There is nothing but pride there is nothing but love From hello to goodbye That’s the story of love                 That’s the story of love                    [Piano Break] |   |   |    /  |   |   |   |    /  | [Ending Solo] |   |   |   |    /  | 12x (or until fade)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les liens profonds et inébranlables entre parents et enfants. Elle souligne l'amour inconditionnel que les pères ressentent pour leurs filles et les mères pour leurs fils, un amour qui guide et façonne nos vies depuis le début. Les paroles mettent en lumière le parcours de l'enfant, de ses débuts jusqu'à son indépendance, tout en rappelant que même à l'âge adulte, le soutien familial reste essentiel. On y trouve aussi l'idée que, même si la relation peut parfois être marquée par des conflits ou des malentendus, l'amour et le respect demeurent au centre de ces liens. Au fur et à mesure que les générations avancent, le cycle de l'amour se perpétue, chaque enfant prenant soin de ses parents comme ils l'ont fait pour lui. C'est une belle réflexion sur la continuité de l'affection au sein de la famille.
