Sides face grand square
Last night, I took the children out to fish with their grandpa
And it's plain to see they're truly part of him
Allemande left, weave
While we were there, their grandma told us 'bout the good ol' days
Man, he sure was a lot like me back then

Heads (sides) promenade go half
While the sides (heads) do a right & left thru
Now the sides (heads) square thru four hands
Do an eight chain four
I notice I smile the way he smiles
Swing, promenade awhile
I'm startin' to see, my father in me

Sides face grand square
Now looking back, I can recall the times we disagreed
When I could not take hold of his old-fashioned ways
Allemande left and weave
The more I tried to prove him wrong
The more I proved him right
Now, I know why he stood by me
When I went through that stage

Sides face grand square
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
Allemande left and weave
I notice I do the things he does
I love the way he loves
And I'm startin' to see my father in me
