LYRICS:
I see you on the kitchen floor
Three weeks past the age of four
Will you remember this
There’s so much that I’d like to say
Cause someday you’ll push me away
And leave your innocence

Your father's father loved in his own way,
We had our moments but he would always say

I will fail but always try
And I will do wrong things and apologize
And show you what it's like to forgive
I'll give you space but never leave,
I'll be a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this
A fathers love knows where you live

I see your arm around someone
The salt and sugar of young love
I do remember this
A heart can break a thousand ways
There’s wisdom in the scars we make
And time will heal the rest

I'm just a father who's learning his own way
All I can offer is exactly what my daddy would say
I will fail but always try
I will do wrong things and apologize
And show you what it's like to forgive
I'll give you space but never leave
And be your safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this
A fathers love knows where you live

And I will do my best
To not cushion every fall
Even though my heart tells me to save you from it all
There will be tears and jealousy
There will be loss and victory
But when your daddy’s gone
I hope that you will see

That I failed but always tried
I did some wrong things and apologized
And showed you what it's like to forgive
I gave you space but wouldn't leave
I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this

That I failed but always tried
I did some wrong things and apologized
And showed you what it's like to forgive
I gave you space but wouldn't leave
I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
When you get lost please remember this

A fathers love knows where you live
Knows where you live

For all of the people who sent this to their father, are thinking of their Dad, or unfortunately are missing them... you're not alone

Showed this song to my New York Italian father over the weekend and he said "Thank you for the share. I love you son." That's the most he's ever expressed his love to me. Thank you Unc Al.

When you started tearing up toward the end of this song last night in Madison, Wisconsin, I started crying right with you. I know you miss your boys! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen! Still loving your music after almost a decade. Thank you, thank you thank you for an amazing performance! And the joy and love you bring to the world.

One day this song will hit even harder to me.

I love Allen Stone and his music. I had to share this with my girls.

My pop turns 70 this year. Showed him this tuesday night and he said, "Well, thats my favorite song now"

[usafcane]

Allen, my son is turning 9 tomorrow. My wife has been your fan for a long time. When our oldest son was 1 we had one of our 1st date nights after he was born to come see you in Charlotte. It was in some cool bar in Charlotte. We talked to you a little bit afterward. I’m now using this song for a video compilation on my son’s 9th birthday. You’re great and I appreciate you. I can’t wait to show my oldest what I’ve put together for him. Life comes full circle and it comes fast.

[JustJoshinSC]

Awesome song man! You don’t know what real love is till you have a child!

[ramzfam]

Such a beautiful heartfelt expression of a parent's love.

[larrym]

I saw you perform this in Monterey last night Allen, and it's such a beautiful song and summary of what being a dad is about. We aren't perfect, but we do our best and hope it's good enough. I raised 5 kids as a single dad and this beautiful tribute brought me to tears last night and today when I watched it again here. Thank you.

[LolaB]

My heart just melted and I couldn’t stop crying. This is such a GORGEOUS song. ❤😢😊
