Answer 1

Walk A Little Straighter
Billy Currungton



I remember lookin' up to look up to him
An I remember most the time he wasn't there
I'd be waitin' at the door when he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair

An I sing walk a little straighter daddy
You're swayin' side by side
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep trippin' an stumblin'
If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

He stumbled in the gym on graduation day
An I couldn't help but feel so ashamed
An I wasn't surprised a bit when he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name

An I thought walk a little straighter daddy
Your swayin' side by side
It's not just me who's watching
You've caught everybody's eye
And your trippin' an stumblin'
And even though I've turned eighteen
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me

The old man'a still like he always was
But I love him anyways
If I've learned one thing from him
It's my kids will never have to sing

Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swayin' side by side
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep trippin' an stumblin'
If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

Yeah walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

Answer 2

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin (an excerpt below)

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

Answer 3

Everclear-Father Of Mine
Good Charlotte-The Story Of My Old Man
Jewel-Daddy

I usually think of my dad when I hear these songs. He was never around.

Answer 4

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin has the lyrics that best fit here I think also, maybe Cat Stevens' father and Son ( although that one's about a father who doesn't understand his son, and the son has had enough, and it's the son who leaves in the song.

Answer 5

Luther Vandross
Dance With My Father

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then


Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Ooh, ooh


When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said


Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again


Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
