A Face Like Mine Lyrics - Peter Bradley Adams

I never knew my father 

He left when I was young 

They say he was a proud man 

As good as they come 

He left like all the others 

When no work could be found 

He smiled and told my mother 

I won't let you down 

The autumn turned to winter 

And the light left her eyes 

No footsteps on the front porch 

No word of him arrived

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Nicki Minaj Drops New Songs 'Barbie Tingz And 'Chun-Li' 

Watch Zayn's New Music Video For 'Let Me' 

A promise torn to pieces 

And tossed to the ground 

Though at night she grieved him 

She never made a sound 

I know he had a reason 

I know a man can get lost 

Whatever he believed in 

I know he suffered the cost 

His picture's almost faded 

But I filled in the lines 

And nothing's unforgiven 

So father don't you cry 

Now the years have found me 

With a child of my own 

Another generation 

That must carry the load 

Photos 

But somewhere there's a memory 

In the back of my mind 

I see my father smiling 

With a face like mine
